Climate change expert sentenced to 32 months for fraud, says lying was a 'rush' - NBC News

Climate change expert sentenced to 32 months for fraud, says lying was a 'rush' - NBC News:

"The EPA’s highest-paid employee and a leading expert on climate change was sentenced to 32 months in federal prison Wednesday for lying to his bosses and saying he was a CIA spy working in Pakistan so he could avoid doing his real job.

John C. Beale’s crimes were “inexplicable” and “unbelievably egregious," said Judge Ellen Huvelle in imposing the sentence in a Washington. D.C. federal court. Beale has also agreed to pay $1.3 million in restitution and forfeiture to the government."
