EMC Engineer Steals Almost $1 Million of Kit One Piece at a Time
aesoteric writes "An EMC test engineer has pleaded guilty to stealing almost $1 million worth of kit from his employer. He reportedly stole the unspecified goods from the storage giant's North Carolina factory using 'a small bag' to smuggle the kit out before selling it on the internet under a pseudonym."
Could be any number of things, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kit
In this instance, I think it's most likely referring to baby ferrets.
Some of my favourite people are from th US; Vonnegut, Chomsky, Bill Hicks.
Zippers can be a bitch.
Dude, it's EMC we're talking about.
Most likely the $1 million kit consists of:
- A 250GB 5400 RPM SATA EMC-certified HD
- A pair of official EMC plastic brackets.
Absolutely. Remember, this occurred in the USA, where corporations write the laws. This is why this guy, who probably stole a handful of hard drives worth about $2k (which EMC marks up to $1m), is going to jail for 30-something years, while a rapist or murderer can easily get out in 5 or 10.
