The Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office announced Tuesday that six former Apple employees have been charged for tricking the tech company into matching donations that went right back into the suspects' pockets.
"It's ripping off Apple, it's ripping off the charities, it's ripping off the government. So, it's really a situation where everybody loses," Rosen said. "Apple loses, the community loses, all because these six individuals wanted to make some money."Rosen said one man orchestrated the crimes involving Apple's donation match program that took place from July 2018 to April 2021.
"The ring leader, instead of the money going to those charities, because he had status and positions in those charities, he kept the money that Apple meant to go to those charities and gave back the money that the employees put up back to the employees," Rosen said.Here's how you can avoid financial scams, according to San Jose police.
In total, the men are accused of stealing $152,000 in false donations and overreporting around $100,000 in charitable contributions as tax deductions.
