Kvashuk used that access to steal millions in gift cards and store credit, which he sold for Bitcoin. "Stealing from your employer is bad enough, but stealing and making it appear that your colleagues are to blame widens the damage beyond dollars and cents," US Attorney Brian T. Moran said in a statement.

During the trial, Kvashuk denied committing fraud, instead claiming that he was "working on a special project for the company," according to the IRS.
