    Kansas man who sold tribal memberships gets 5 years

    By Roxana Hegeman
    Wichita, Kansas (AP) 12-08

    The leader of a group that claimed to be an American Indian tribe was sentenced Dec. 12 to five years in prison in an immigration fraud case that ensnared about 12,000 people who believed tribal membership gave them U.S. citizenship.

    Malcolm Webber, also known as Grand Chief Thunderbird IV, must serve three years’ probation after release from federal prison and forfeit more than $377,000 seized last year by agents who raided the Kaweah Indian Nation offices in Wichita.
