The New Hampshire painter who set fire to a submarine so he could leave work early was sentenced to 17 years in prison and ordered to pay $400,000,000 today in U.S. District Court in Maine.

Casey Fury, 26, had already pleaded guilty to starting the May 2012 fire that caused $450 million in damage to the USS Miami while it was dry docked for an overhaul at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery.

The sentence should read, in-lieu of failure to pay the $400,000,000, punishment is commuted to life sentence.
