A man claimed to be the consultant that inspired the movie Taken! He was arrested for fraud!

A Maryland man who claimed for years to be a Green Beret was sentenced to nearly two years in federal prison for lying about his military service to obtain numerous contracts with public and private agencies.

William G. Hillar of Millersville, was sentenced to one year and nine months in prison followed by three years of supervised release, according to court documents. He pleaded guilty to wire fraud as part of a plea agreement.

The FBI, DEA, and many other organizations paid tens of thousands of dollars to William Hillar, who claimed to be the real-life basis for Liam Neeson's character in Taken.

His story of attempting to save his daughter from sex traffickers, and his special-ops resume, were fabrications.
