Ex-Apple employee pleads guilty to charges

Published on Mar 17, 2011

Apple's former global supply manager Paul Devine, has been convicted on charges of fraud, conspiracy and money laundering. Devine was arrested in August after Apple found incriminating emails in which he “agreed to be paid for providing inside information.” Devine’s actions lead to Asian suppliers being able to negotiate favourable contracts with Apple, costing Apple more than $2m (£1.2m). Devine has pleaded guilty to all the charges and is reported to have given up $2.8 million in money and property.
