As Politico reported on Wednesday, Beale was sentenced on Wednesday for his Ferris Bueller-like stint at the agency, during which he got away with skipping work with pay for two-and-a-half years after convincing his superiors, his wife, and his friends that he was an undercover CIA agent. Beale also scored a preferred parking spot at his office by falsely claiming he contracted malaria while serving in the Vietnam War.
