When his restaurant in England is busy, Little Lin's brother, Big Lin, can make $600 a week, tax free, and despite his underground status, his life is hardly a misery.

The three were sentenced to 15 years for each arson, 10 years for each burglary and six months for animal cruelty for shooting a cow. They will serve a mandatory two years after their federal sentences are over and no other time "as long as they behave themselves," said Alabama state prosecutor Michael Jackson.
