It is only tax evasion, and he still owes the government the taxes.

This was expected. Kondo did way more than what Mamare Touno (Maoyuu, Log Horizon; Also tax evasion) did. The question was always how much longer would his sentence be. Touno got a sentence of ten months in prison, on a three-year suspension.

Quote:
Touno allegedly failed to file 120 million yen (around US$996,438) in royalties from the printed versions of his MAOYU and Log Horizon novels for his income tax report in a three-year period ending last year. According to the prosecutor's office, Touno owes the Japanese government 30 million yen (around US$249,114) in taxes.
