A former Vancouver, Wash., man was sentenced last week to a year and a day in prison, followed by three years' probation, for stealing and selling exams and answers needed to become a certified Microsoft Corp. software engineer.
Robert Keppel was also ordered to forfeit his interest in two cars and to pay $500,000 in restitution. He had made at least $765,600 from the illicit sales, buying a 2001 Lexus RX300 and a 1997 Ferrari 355 Spider with the proceeds.
He could have been fined up to $250,000 and been sentenced to 10 years in prison.
