Seifert to Serve 18-Month Sentence

Shona Seifert was sentenced to 18 months in prison and ordered to pay a $125,000 fine for her role in the Ogilvy & Mather scheme to overbill the government on its national anti-drug ad account, Ad Age reports (via MediaBuyerPlanner). That should give her plenty of time to develop the code of conduct for the advertising industry that the judge has ordered her to write.

Yesterday, Seifert's co-defendant, Thomas Early, a former Ogilvy & Mather's finance director, was sentenced to 14 months in prison and a $10,000 fine in the scheme.

Seifert was Ogilvy's lead person on the Office of National Drug Policy account and accused of leading a plot to cut projected revenue shortfalls by falsifying timesheets.
