SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Bernard Ebbers, the former chief executive officer of WorldCom Inc. (MCIP) , was sentenced to 30 years in prison on Wednesday, almost three years after the telecommunications company collapsed in a massive accounting fraud, the Wall Street Journal reported on its Web site. Ebbers was convicted in March of all nine counts against him, including conspiracy and securities fraud, related to the $11 billion scandal, the Journal noted.
