Not really.If he was screwing each person out of 20p a day, that's 1 pound a week. Now a pound a week doesn't sound like much, but then that's 52 pounds a year: 52 pounds is quite a lot when you think about it. A lot of groceries/a really decent meal/some new clothes.
I think he was right to have been suspended. Although they could have offered him the option of paying all the money back instead...

ActuallyIt's likely that a fair chunk of that went on running the car. It might well have cost 50p/£1 a mile to do the journey. At that, probably about a third of the money went on the petrol etc.
