Ex-Microsoft worker gets 2 years for $13 million scam | |

Former Microsoft Corp. employee Richard Gregg was sentenced to two years in prison yesterday for mail fraud after unlawfully selling more than $13 million worth of his former employer's software. U.S. District Judge John Coughenour also ordered Gregg, 45, to pay more than $5 million in restitution to Microsoft for software he diverted, keeping the profits after selling it. In a plea agreement, Gregg admitted that, while working at Microsoft as a project coordinator from May to December 2002, he took advantage of a software-ordering program set up for internal use by Microsoft employees. He ordered and sold more than 4,400 pieces of software, with a value of more than $13 million. | ||

| #1: The level of his idiocy remains to be seen, based on how much money he has left over after fines. Personally, I think I could do two years on my head if I had 5+ million waiting for me on the outside. |

| 5 million is not worth it - 500 million? OK - now you're talking... |

| Chris, I agree with you. 5 million dollars isn't enough to make me want to cozy up to prison for any length of time. |
