A former diversity and inclusion manager at Facebook and Nike has been sentenced to five years and three months in prison for stealing more than $5 million from the tech giant to “fund a luxury lifestyle”.
Barbara Furlow-Smiles, who pleaded guilty to wire fraud in the case in December, stole more than $4.9 million that had been earmarked for DEI initiatives from Facebook after apparently getting "caught up" in the company's "move fast and break things" culture.
