Prosecutors say they conspired to defraud Continental Resources and used insider information to buy and resell oil leases. Authorities say they collected royalties through shell companies. Blayne Dyer got a five-year sentence. Jimmy Dyer got 18 months. They also must pay more than $2.3 million in restitution.
