More news on the Heene’s after takeoff…

The Heene’s might have gotten away from the jail if their six year old hadn’t ratted tem out. oops. From People Magazine:

Richard Heene, 48, received 90 days in jail and four years’ probation, ABC News reports. His wife, Mayumi Heene, 45, was given 20 days behind bars and four years’ probation.

They also received community service (100 hours and 120 hours, respectively), and are barred from profiting financially in any way from the incident for at least four years.

Ouch, four years. No one will remember the incident by then. So, no money and no show for the Heene’s. Now what do you think they will do?
