Given he did not steal 2 million worth of products and only accepted a bribe to transport it, that is plenty. His bribe would not have been $ 250K. I think the term is harsh. May be 6 years?
I‘m not surprised he got caught. 2m is not chump change, of course any company is going to investigate where there stuff has gone.
Not just any government official, but a Postal Service one. The USPS investigators do not take that lightly and do not mess around.
He also forged an official document and committed mail fraud. In some ways he is lucky it's only 10 years.
Because they are the dumbest.
Cut the man some slack, he was just trying to make enough money to buy a Vision Pro.
Why do so many people think it’s ok to steal? People steal all the time and we only hear about it when it’s larger numbers. So sad.
$2 million? Please, I would be more impressed if they arrested the scammers going into stores and buying phones using unsuspecting customers accounts. There were days I watched 20 to 30 phones walk out the door
I wonder if the man thought the company he was dealing with was corrupt hence if anything went wrong they would not complain because it would expose their corrupt operation thus allowing him to get away with it.
You might've missed the part where he has to repay $2 million in restitution to the company he stole from.
Because in the majority of cases they do. We just hear about the minuscule number of cases where they actually get caught.
That seems... like a shockingly low bribe to accept for such a huge crime. "Yeah, I'm trafficking $2M worth of goods, but I'm getting $700K for it!"
No, he stole / diverted $2million worth of property and sold it to a third party for 750,000.
Pled is an older but still valid term in this case.
Nah. This took a while to get caught. Dumb is not getting a really good new identify and passport and facial reconstruction and getting bout of dodge asap to a non extradition country.
