The fish in question were seized by USFW, somebody lost a lot of money on this deal.....
This fish is only known to habitat on this one small atoll, unfortunately this situation does not reflect well on the aquarium trade.www.islandpets.ca

Was more than 20k I believe, the article says he caught 52. That would be well over 200k at just half the estimated value. 45 day sentence seems kind of light, must have some big fines as well.
