So the only question really is whether it’s more the case that he’s not paying because there’s a chance that he could be prosecuted for buying votes or if he’s not paying just because he’s a lying sack of shit who doesn’t keep promises.
IANAL, but I don’t think so, unless they managed to make a charge of fraud stick, which would require proving that he never had any intention of paying them.
Without something like that, his failure to pay up is a civil matter rather than a criminal one.

Or both.
I’m thinking both.
Wouldn’t offering payment and not paying it also be criminal in someway?
