If he doesn't have any criminal record then he's not going to get any jail time at all for a first time fraud offence, even if it is 40K.
More than likely judge will order him to repay the money (over an agreed upon period of time) and put him on probation. If he fails to pay, then he'd get jail time, but even then it won't be very long.
