Apple Manager Arrested In Kickback Scheme
pickens writes "A midlevel Apple manager was arrested Friday and accused of accepting more than $1 million in kickbacks from half a dozen Asian suppliers of iPhone and iPod accessories in a federal indictment unsealed and a separate civil suit. Paul Shin Devine, a global supply manager, and Andrew Ang, of Singapore, were named in a 23-count federal grand jury indictment for wire fraud, money laundering and kickbacks. 'Apple is committed to the highest ethical standards in the way we do business,' Apple spokesman Steve Dowling said in a statement. 'We have zero tolerance for dishonest behavior inside or outside the company.' The alleged scheme used an elaborate chain of US and foreign bank accounts and one front company to receive payments, the indictment said, and code words like 'sample' were used to refer to the payments so that Apple co-workers wouldn't become suspicious."
Ahhh, now your statement makes sense. "foolish pride" eh? Sounds like you may be a hater to begin with. ACTUAL police work is nothing like TV. There is more to solving crimes than throwing around some fingerprint dust. Certain surfaces do not lend themselves to dusting, perhaps your residence was one such as this, I don't know.
Hahahahahahaha, nice bullshit excuse. Cops don't bother to dust stolen cars, either. The cops don't work for the citizenry and any that claim to do so are liars. They don't report to us. Cops are fucking useless without citizen's police review boards; actually, they are worse than useless, they are an armed gang protected by law.
Most of the cops out there are decent hard working men and women who want to put in a good days work for their community.
As cops you have a responsibility for how you are regarded. If it's a few bad apples, then it behooves you to eliminate them because for us they do ruin the whole barrel, and rather than rooting them out to prevent spoilage, you protect them in the vast majority of cases because of your gang mentality.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
