Deception and other fraudulent acts are not merely unacceptable practices that are disgraceful
and dishonorable; they reveal a basic moral flaw. The standards of the legal profession are not
satisfied by conduct that merely enables one to escape the penalties of criminal laws.
Considering the depravity of the offense committed by respondent, we find the penalty
recommended by the IBP of suspension for two years from the practice of law to be too mild. His
propensity for employing deceit and misrepresentation is reprehensible. His misuse of the filledup checks that led to the detention of one petitioner is loathsome. Thus, he is sentenced
suspended indefinitely from the practice of law effective immediately.
