In 2007, he gave information to the United States Department of Justice that resulted in $780 million in fines levied against UBS. In 2008, Birkenfeld pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud the United States and was sentenced in 2009 to 40 months in prison. Many advocacy groups from around the world criticized Birkenfeld's prosecution and sentence.
