Current Events > Colorado Governor PARDONS ASIAN Family who started HOAX to avoid IMMIGRATION!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

Richard and Mayumi Heene, the parents behind the infamous "Balloon Boy" Hoax have been pardoned by Democratic Governor Jared Polis, more than 11 years after they captivated the country when they tricked people into believing their then 6 y/o Son had FLOATED AWAY in a UFO shaped silver Helium Balloon

16 others were pardoned including those with drug offenses and lower level crimes such as harassment and burglary

They gained notoriety on October 15, 2009 when they said their son, Falcon was trapped in a homemade helium weather balloon that floated away.

The world watched with bated breath for 2 nail biting hours as it went up 7000 feet across the skies when it finally landed in a West Country field but no sign of the boy was inside despite a frantic search that included a National Guard helicopter

But Falcon was safe and sound and hiding in an ATTIC at their home as the couple were charged with conspiracy to commit crimes and sentened to some prison

The Governor believed the family suffered long enough since orchestrating the elaborate stunt as he said they shouldn't be dragged down by it any longer as everyone is ready to move on from the spectacle. He said "Richard and Mayumi paid the price in the eyes of the public, served their sentences and it's time for us to move on"

Mayumi written to the Govenor on her regret and said she is still troubled by the harm and inconvenience of her actions as Polis said he believed and trusted that she and her husband learned their mistakes. He also lauded Richard after he wrote to him of him teaching his 3 sons to be honest and hardworking.

Both served around a month in prison with 36,000 in restitution.

Last year on the 10th anniversary they maintained it wasn't a hoax at first believing they their son was in there but then admited tog uilt to stop IMMIGRATION from investigating them since Mayumi is from JAPAN

Prosecution found 12 pages of handwritte notes detailing day by day lead up to the incident which she gave to her lawyer to "save herself" from prosecution without her husband knowing as they also pitche for a science based reality show which was rejected

She said her husband believed this would get them fame and attention so that's why they concocted it

The sons today, Bradford, Ryo and Falcon now started a HEAVY METAL BAND called The Heene Boyz as it's unclear what the parents are doing today
