If repayment is a condition of your parole and you don't do so the Court can revoke your parole and sentence you to imprisonment for the remainder of your term.
If repayment was made a condition of sentencing then you may face further contempt of court charges and may be imprisoned for an even longer term.
Check with your attorney, and try to work out a payment plan.

However, you cannot be convicted of the same crime twice; this is the famous term "double jeopardy." IF the repayment of the monies was not a term of your sentence and you have already served your sentence, then it would seem that you are no longer legally liable for that money. I am NOT a lawyer, but logically that seems sound. However (part 2), they CAN sue you for the money in a civil case (which you would probably be found guilty and ordered to pay).

If the restitution was a part of your sentence, yes. The court could charge you with contempt for not paying, and back to jail you go until you pay. I you are unable to pay it all at one time, make payments of a reasonable amount and the courts should consider that in determining how to proceed. You might also ask the court to approve a payment plan.

Yes, you'll have to repay the money. If you don't repay it, you'll go back to jail. Don't worry, they'll seize your property, any bank accounts you have, and don't try, and be slick by putting your accounts in other people's names, because they'll find out, and you'll be brought up on a whole new charge. It'll save you lots of trouble to pay the money. You committed the crime now it's time to obey the law.

If the court ordered you to repay the money at the time of sentencing,then you could have jail-time added to your sentence.If not,the person you defrauded could take civil action against you to recover the money.

Yes, as you will be in contempt of court (Assuming that the Judge ordered you to pay the money back)

yep! But why would you not want to repay as part of the sentence. Are you that stupid!

It depends on order passed by court.Fine amount or sentence is indicated.If no specific order is passed it is for court to decide whether to sentence or realise fine from your property.if you fail to pay.

if you don't repay what the court orders then in the end you could be sent back to prison.

if you commited fraud, you deserve to be caught, and sentenced, and if you refuse to pay up, you deserve whatever punishment you get.
