This Foxconn Employee Steals 5,700 iPhones Before Getting Caught

Foxconn is the world’s largest electronics maker and assembler; Apple and Sony products are few of the gadgets assembled at Foxconn plants.
A senior manager has has been allegedly caught stealing and selling 5,7000 iPhones valued at $1.56 million.  Identified only as Tsai, the Taiwanese culprit is said to be a former employee of Foxconn in the testing department.
According to Asia One, prosecutors said Tsai instructed eight employees to smuggle thousands of iPhones out of the Shenzhen factory. The stolen devices are iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s meant to be scraped (and probably recycled) after testing, but the thieves thought it was a chance to make some good money.
Foxconn has a system for accounting for test devices and internal audits led to investigation. The manager has been charged with breach of trust and he is presently beimg prosecuted. There is a great chance he may spend up to 10 years in prison if found guilty by the court of law.
