[Fantasic Beasts/Harry Potter] Why does Newt still have a wand? He was expelled!

Why does Newt Scamanger still have a wand when he was expelled from Hogwarts? Shouldn't his wand have been broken?

Also, in the book Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, it also says that he graduated from Hogwarts. What gives? Why would he lie in that book?

Maybe snapping the wand is a newer thing, it may not have been a traditional punishment back in the day.  Standards may have been a little different back then.  Or maybe he bought a new one, the rules on that aren't exactly clear.

It's also possible that Hagrid wasn't the typical case.  His want was snapped when he was expelled, but he was expelled under suspicion of unleashing the Basilisk, what we'd consider manslaughter basically.  Maybe his wand was snapped because of that, but he equates it with being expelled because it was at the same time (or because they didn't explain manslaughter to a 13 year old)
