Late last year we wrote about Keith Michael Novak<\/a> who was in the Minnesota National Guard and stole the identities of more than 400 of his fellow soldiers to sell to members of his militia group who wanted to dissappear with different IDs according to the Associated Press<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Novak, who prosecutors say was leading an anti-government militia group in Minnesota at the time of his December arrest, pleaded guilty in April to one count of identity theft. In a letter read in court Friday by his attorney, Novak said he meant no harm and he apologized for the “terrible mistake” that has hurt people he cares about.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors say Novak stole names, Social Security numbers and security clearance levels of roughly 400 members of his former Army unit and sold the information of 98 people to others so they could create false IDs for militia members in case they “ever wanted to disappear and become someone else.”<\/p>\n

Novak believed he was selling the information to Utah-based militia members. They were really undercover FBI agents. His attorney, Anders Folk, argued that since the IDs weren’t used criminally, Novak should receive a lesser punishment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
