A federal district judge sentenced a former Apple employee for stealing millions of dollars from Apple, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California.
Dhirendra Prasad’s sentencing for two charges — conspiracy to commit mail fraud and wire fraud and conspiracy to defraud the U.S. — stemmed from an alleged plot that lost Apple over $17 million.
The U.S. attorney’s office announced the details of the 55-year-old’s sentencing Wednesday.
Prasad was sentenced to serve three years in jail.
His scheme involved “taking kickbacks, stealing parts, inflating invoices and causing Apple to pay for items and services it never received,” according to the release.
He did so while facilitating the “process through which Apple bought parts to perform warranty repairs on older devices.”
