Key points:
>>Volodymyr Kvashuk, a 25-year-old software developer and Ukrainian citizen who worked for Microsoft from 2016 to 2018, took advantage of a testing program for Microsoft’s online retail sales platform. He made test accounts to obtain “currency stored value” such as Microsoft gift cards and then resold them online.
>>Kvashuk will be sentenced June 1 in U.S District Court and faces up to 20 years in prison.
Ouch.
- econcon 7y agoWhy did he not run away to Russia?
- salmon30salmon 7y agoProbably because he is Ukrainian but that is just a wild guess.
- jdmichal 7y agoI was amazed that that long list of charges only results in a 20-year maximum.
- anong 7y agoI hope he gets the maximum to teach/deter others to not utilize their position, talents in a wrong way. He lived in a free country, smarter than millions, yet he betrayed the trust of his employer and the country that embraces him. I am an immigrant from Thailand, grateful to the opportunity this country giving me every single minutes.
- anong 7y agoA brilliant mind who wasted his talents blinded by greed. A very sad life.
