Alaska's now infamous political corruption probe netted no less than a dozen people, ranging from U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens to businessmen, lobbyists, a former governor's chief of staff and a handful of state lawmakers. It brought the actions of government attorneys and investigators -- whose botched work forced the U.S. Justice Department to toss out its case against Stevens and place two others under review -- under scrutiny by a federal judge. A handful of other figures connected to the investigations have never been charged.

Here is a round up of the main players and what they're up to now.

Tom Anderson, 43, and Bill Bobrick, 56

The history
Former Alaska legislator Tom Anderson and lobbyist Bill Bobrick were caught in a scheme to launder bribes to Anderson from a corrections company looking to purchase his legislative influence. The duo set up a cover operation that was billed as a newsletter they would produce, when in reality little work on the newsletter was ever done. Unknown to Bobrick and Anderson, the corrections company wasn't in the loop. Instead, in 2004 and 2005, an associate of the firm, Frank Prewitt, worked as an informant for the FBI, and the $24,000 that exchanged hands belonged to the investigative agency. Bobrick avoided prosecution by admitting his own guilt and would go on to testify against Anderson, who was later convicted at trial.

Where are they now?

Bobrick was released from federal probation last March after completing his sentence. Anderson was moved this month to a halfway house in Seattle, after serving a little more than three years of his sentence at a federal prison camp in Sheridan, Ore. At the time of his conviction, he was married to a fellow legislator, state Sen. Lesil McGuire. The couple, who have a young son, have since divorced, according to Anderson's attorney, Wayne Anthony Ross. Custody over the boy appears headed for trial in April. Anderson is due for early release in July 2011.
