Microsoft Employee Steals $9 Million Worth Of Software
from the oops dept
I have to admit, as scammers go, this one seems to be pretty damn stupid. An employee of Microsoft purchased $9 million worth of software via an internal purchasing account, and then and then resold the software through a middleman for cash. He then spent the cash on fancy cars, motorcycles, jewelry, and a boat. How did he think he wouldn’t get caught? At some point, you would think someone in Microsoft would notice $9 million in software that just seemed to disappear…

Hmmm ….. so MS didn’t notice the first million. Didn’t notice the second million … didn’t notice the third million … didn’t notice the fourth million … didn’t notice the fifth million … didn’t notice the SIXTH million … didn’t notice the SEVENTH MILLION … didn’t NOTICE THE EIGHTH MILLION.
I’m sure the guy thought he’d NEVER get caught.

his mistake was that he wasnt working at some dot.com startup with the strong potential to bomb & cover his trail. he should have took the money & left, ken lay style.
Who does their books, Enron?
Hello? He took them for “more than 1600” software titles which he resold and they’re claiming a loss of $9,000,000. That means each title had to have a retail value of $5621. What MS software sells for that much yet is popular enough that you can move 1600 copies?
