John W. Wagner of Columbus was sentenced to two years federal probation on April 4 and ordered to pay a $10,000 fine for his role as the former certified public accountant and bookkeeper for Momentum Production Corp.
Wagner pleaded guilty in 2011 to one count of misprision of a felony for not disclosing the wrongdoing of Richard M. Plato, the owner of Momentum.

Plato was sentenced to 235 months in federal prison on March 28 and ordered to pay $3 million in restitution to investors in Momentum.
