An ex-chief financial officer at Boeing has received a four-month jail sentence and a fine of $250,000 for illegally hiring a top Air Force aide. Michael Sears admitted his guilt in breaking conflict of interest laws by recruiting Darleen Druyun while she still handled military contracts. Druyun is currently serving a nine-month sentence for favouring Boeing when awarding lucrative contracts. Boeing lost a $23 billion government contract after a Pentagon inquiry into the case. — BBC Online
