So payoffs = lifetime ban, but cheating judges get a slap on the wrist.

Wow, nice ISU annual salary.

The ISU says he secretly siphoned off funds to a company in which he had an interest in contravention of his contract with the ISU.

Nice to see that the ISU cracks down on some kinds of wrongdoing. But....the gist of the case seems to be that an ISU member federation agreed to a event contract with the "alleged offender" where the costs were ridiculously inflated, and that the "alleged offender" didn't reveal who was actually going to do the work for the event (FSU lawyer types correct me if I am misunderstanding this). Where is the responsibility for due diligence on the part of the federation that signed the contract?

This is the speed skating side. Are they known to be as lenient on cheating judges as the figure skating side?

yes,this is the short track side but he was the general secretary of he Hungarian National Skating Federation and Hungary has just one Federation for figure and speed

But you didn't answer my question. What kind of rep does the speed skating side when it has to punishing cheaters?
