"Mr. Wang allegedly purchased over 900 units of Apple software at the discounted price. After Apple shipped the software to him, Mr. Wang sold the software that he had purchased at a discounted rate for a profit."

Mr. Wang allegedly purchased over 900 units of Apple software at the discounted price. After Apple shipped the software to him, Mr. Wang sold the software that he had purchased at a discounted rate for a profit.
A summons was issued for the defendant. The defendant’s initial appearance is at 9:30 a.m. on March 16, 2006, before Judge Howard R. Lloyd.
The maximum statutory penalty for each count of charge in violation of 18 U.S.C.
§ 1341 is 20 years and a fine of $250,000, in addition to restitution. However, any sentence following conviction would be imposed by the court after consideration of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and the federal statute governing the imposition of a sentence, 18 U.S.C. § 3553.
