Comment on South Korean Supplier Tied to Apple Kickback Scandal by admin

Here’s a follow-up story.
Sept. 21 (Bloomberg) — Paul Devine, the Apple Inc. manager accused of taking kickbacks in exchange for company secrets, proposed posting a bond of $612,407 from his foreign bank accounts to win release from jail, according to court documents.

Devine pledged the equity in his home near San Francisco and his mother’s Maryland home as collateral for the bond and has met most conditions for release set by U.S. Magistrate Judge Howard Lloyd in San Jose, California, Devine’s lawyer, Raphael Goldman, said in a letter to the judge today. Lloyd is scheduled to consider the bail request at a hearing tomorrow.

Goldman said Korean banking laws blocked Devine from transferring about $313,000 from accounts in that country.

“It appears that it will be very time-consuming, and difficult — if not impossible — to transfer these funds from Korea into the United States,” Goldman wrote. “The defense submits that Mr. Devine should be released while we explore possible ways to transfer the remaining funds from Korea.”

Devine, 37, a global-supply manager, was accused of money laundering and wire fraud in a 23-count indictment unsealed Aug. 13. He has pleaded not guilty to charges that he took at least $1 million in kickbacks from Asian suppliers.

Devine gave the suppliers of iPhone and iPod accessories confidential data that helped them win better contracts from Cupertino, California-based Apple in exchange for payments, according to the indictment. Each count of wire fraud, wire fraud conspiracy, and money laundering carries a 20-year prison sentence, prosecutors said.

Lloyd ordered Devine on Aug. 24 to give the government access to two safe deposit boxes that a prosecutor said may contain “proceeds of the fraud.” Devine granted that access, Goldman said in today’s letter.

Jack Gillund, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s office in San Francisco, declined to comment.

Apple hasn’t provided information on Devine’s employment status since his arrest.

The case is U.S. v. Devine, 10-cr-00603, U.S. District Court, Northern District of California (San Jose).

Comment on South Korea-based NCsoft’s Suffer $28 Million Texas Verdict Setback by SBammel

SBammel — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 13:26:11 +0000

This is a very interesting story since I worked for NCsoft for so many years. They seem to ride a rollercoaster from game to game.. What was most shocking was to see they shut down Tabular Rasa; I think I heard they’d put $100 million into developing that game and I even thought I heard it was doing quite well. I guess not….

It would be interesting to delve into the differences between how Korean companies part with their former executives and how Western companies do it. Lots of cultural aspects to consider!
