The now former Apple supply manager Paul Shin Devine, has been charged with money laundering, wire fraud, accepting kickbacks, and also faces a civil suit from Apple.
Devine, who was based in Sunnydale, California, is alleged to have used his position to gain inside information about upcoming Apple products, then would leak that info to suppliers, who would then use that it to get favorable deals with Apple. The companies would then give Devine a kickback, and Apple's suit claims he has accepted over $1M in kickbacks and bribes over the years.
Looks like Apple is serious about plugging all the leaks that have been happenig recently. Now they've just got to get their engineers to stop drinking too much at bars.
