The man who pulled a hoax by saying his 6-year-old son was drifting over Colorado in a balloon must pay $37,000 in restitution, a judged ordered.

As Richard Heene completed his 90-day sentence with home detention this month, his wife, Mayumi Heene, began serving her 20-day sentence on weekends, according to a jail official. Her time is not spent in a jail cell, but on a Saturday and Sunday work detail, a probation official said.

Prosecutors said the couple staged their son's disappearance last October to generate publicity for themselves because they wanted to star in a reality television show. Richard Heene pleaded guilty in November to a felony count of attempting to influence a public servant, while she pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor of making a false report. The judge also sentenced the couple to four years probation.

That was much sooner than I expected. I wonder who he pays and how they arrived at that amount.
