Six years ago, a brave (or perhaps foolhardy) Apple employee left the company and took trade secrets with him straight to a competitor. Now, after pleading guilty in court, he has finally been sentenced, and he’s going to have to pay a massive fee.
As pointed out by 9to5mac, Xiolang Zhang, who originally stole “Project Titan” secrets has been sentenced to “120 days of imprisonment and 3 years supervised release”. He has also been ordered to pay a restitution of $146,984. Supervised release means that Zhang can get out of jail but will be supervised for the subsequent three years after release.
