GW alumnus Stan Dai was sentenced to two years probation by the U.S. Attorney’s Office Eastern District of Louisiana last week, after he and three other conservative activists pleaded guilty to attempting to bug the office of Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La. earlier this year.

Dai, who graduated from GW in 2006 with a degree in political science, was also ordered to perform 75 hours of community service and pay fines of $1,500 for his involvement in the phone tampering plot in January.

According to court documents, Dai aided three other men – Joseph Basel, Robert Flanagan and James O’Keefe – in the plot by remaining “outside of the building to provide support” for his friends while they disguised themselves as telephone repairmen to enter and bug Landrieu’s office in the Hart Senate office building.

Before graduating GW in 2006, Dai was involved with an array of conservative groups including The GW Patriot – a conservative publication on campus –  the GW College Republicans and Colonials For Life, according to a biography of Dai found at The Phillips Foundation. Dai graduated from the University as a member of the Phi Beta Kappa honor society.
