Submitted on July 27, 2011

By Suzanne Goldenberg - The Guardian

An activist who became a hero to campaigners for disrupting a Bush administration auction for the oil and gas industry with $1.8m in bogus bids was sentenced to two years in prison on Tuesday...Tim DeChristopher was immediately ordered into custody, and fined $10,000. He had been facing a potential sentence of up to 10 years and a $750,000 fine.
