Apple Manager Stashed $150,000 in Shoeboxes

[falchard]

This manager obviously was not very smart. His sound investment strategy is the equivalent of hiding it in the mattress.

Well he just needs to sit tight and don't let anyone on to where he has the rest of his money squirreled away. People are just trying to scare him to hand it all over, ~THEN~ they'll throw him in jail using his own money as evidence against him. Best thing to do is deny you have knowledge of anything, get really good lawyers, preferably new ones and wait it out. Most convictions are gotten with things you accidentally tell investigators.

Should have put a picture of an apple with a worm coming out

 

[dEAne]

bad news.

 

[shizen]

little worm in the rotten apple..

I bet there's another hidey hole of his.

[citation][nom]kerbe360[/nom]Greed... its whats for dinner. I only wonder who gets all this stashed money? He didnt steal from Apple just saw an opportunity to make even more money.[/citation]

I bet for every dollar he made from the suppliers, Apple lost a lot more from paying higher bids for the contracts.

No it isn't. Apple is an VERY overpriced PC.

Sooo the US can invade your house, tap your phone, out-right invade your life for "terrorism defence" but a safety deposit box? OH NOOOOOOESSS!!?!?

Terrorism loophole: Safety deposit boxes.

Is that wrong?

 

[JackFrost860]

I mean is it wrong to tell 3rd parties so they can make accessories for apple. Does that make him an accessory?

I dont care any thing about Apples involvement, but I do think that the judge is simply hoping to get this guy to throw himself under the bus for them. Sounds like hes hoping he'll give them all the evidence so he can make bail, and having obtained it without a warrant. Sounds like government BS to me.

 

[rantoc]

He got the money from the foxconn workers who were pushed to suicide due to the working conditions making Iphones for all the appleoids... why pay the saleries to dead people when you can keep em!

 

[dstigue]

[citation][nom]Be0wulf22[/nom]Right...because people in the PC market would never do something like this.[/citation]

Actually they can't do this because there is so much competition. And no one cares that much. It's the walled Garden thing that is creating this situation. I really don't care either way. They make a nice product that people like. I have an Android phone myself but they started it all. So even you apple haters have to give some credit.

Apple turnover? : )

 

[Xenophage]

I don't understand what he did that was illegal. Sounds more like a fireable offense than a crime. Did he breach any contracts? Is it a felony? How can he be held in custody? Did he go to trial? Is he awaiting trial?

 

[maestintaolius]

150k in shoeboxes? That's insanity. Everyone knows you have to diversify your portfolio, he should have put 50k in shoeboxes, 50k in his mattress and buried 50k in his back yard.

 

[jaksun5]

Surely this guy will be happy to stay stum and not say a word, 150k in shoeboxes must be the tip of the iceberg, and he's hardly going to maximum security. When the avg wage is less than 60k, I'll take free accommodation and food for a year or two for an early retirement any day of the week. The guy's a modern day Conan the Barbarian, sticking it to the man!

 

[Ciuy]

lol he got busted ...sucks.

Apple Sucks

 

[Guest]

@XD_dued Me too lol. I was like "wow, so Apple's making iShoes now?" =P

 

[duk3]

A shoebox? Seriously?
At least buy some kind of a safe...

 

[nforce4max]

Most people keep a little stashed away in various places through out the house while some go to extremes such as hiding wads of cash in furniture or in coffee cans in the backyard.

An iconic example of how far the apple fell from the tree, then again, Apple leeches off of all its "loyal fans" so we can be sure this particular apple came from the original tree.

Hehehehe...
