Chinese Man Gets 30 Months For Fake Cisco Sales
alphadogg writes "A Chinese man was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in a US prison this week for trafficking in counterfeit Cisco Systems gear. Yongcai Li, 33, will also have to pay the networking company nearly $800,000 in restitution after being the conduit for hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of counterfeit computer hardware, the FBI said Friday. Prosecutors said he procured the fake gear in China and then sent it to co-conspirators in the US. His alleged co-conspirators have not been charged. Li was arrested by FBI agents on Jan. 9, 2009, in Las Vegas — while the annual Consumer Electronics Show was taking place there. Two years ago, the FBI claimed to have seized more than $78 million worth of counterfeit equipment in more than 400 seizures."
You may be new here.
2.5 years is not 30 years, it’s 30 months.
I'd hate to see how long kdawson is gone when he takes his 30 minute lunch break.
Boss: it was a 30 minute break. You were gone a month!!!
kdawson: Yeah I always get small details like that mixed up. I thought you said months. Sorry.

I would imagine that Slashdot's editing standards would go up considerably as a result. Go for it Kdawson!!
Wasn't kdawson part of NASA's Mars team a while back?
I have something in common with Stephen Hawking...
Maybe he confused 2.5 years Jupiter = 30 years Earth
Maybe 2.5 U.S. years is actually 30 metric years?

Just add the expression in there.
Any sufficiently advanced intelligence is indistinguishable from stupidity.
I met a guy that worked as a security guard for Cisco, and he was telling me about some people that had stolen pallets out of the back of trucks, and they had no leads. In my head I'm thinking that people just made off with millions of dollars in Cisco routers and such. It was weeks later when his employment came back up and I realized he worked for Sysco, and somebody had stolen some pallets of food.
