Ex-Lawrence Livermore Lab scientist sentenced to prison over faking research to get U.S. grants
"""
A former research scientist at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory was sentenced to 18 months in prison Tuesday for turning in false data and reports to the federal government to receive funding over a four-year time period.

S. Darin Kinion, Ph.D., 44, of Lafayette, plead guilty in June to submitting false data and reports [...] admitted that he received millions of dollars from IARPA between 2008 and 2012 “to design, build, and test experimental components in the field of quantum computing at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory,”
[...]
He also conducted a three-day “charade” experiment to convince another scientist that his test was legitimate. [...] Kinion will begin serving his 18-month sentence on Jan. 26. [...] and will have to pay $3,317,893 in restitution to the United States.
