Ex-Apple worker sentenced to prison and ordered to pay millions for fraud.

A former Apple employee, Dhirendra Prasad, has been sentenced to three years in prison and ordered to pay back over $19 million after taking kickbacks, stealing parts, inflating invoices, and causing Apple to pay for items and services it never received. Prasad pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit mail fraud and wire fraud, and one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States. He used his position at Apple to enrich himself at his employer's expense and also used his insider information regarding the company's fraud-detection techniques to design his criminal schemes.
