"SAN JOSE – LAWFUEL - The Law News Network - United States Attorney Kevin V. Ryan announced that a federal grand jury in San Jose, California, indicted Guohua Wang yesterday afternoon with mail fraud. Mr. Wang, of State College, Pennsylvania, allegedly engaged in a scheme to defraud Apple Computer, Inc. ("Apple") by taking advantage of special discount program that Apple offered....

"According to the indictment, Apple had a special sales program whereby the owners of certain Apple computers could purchase Apple software at a discount on Apple’s website by entering the serial numbers of their Apple computers. Mr. Wang entered the serial numbers of Apple computers that he did not own onto electronic order forms on Apple’s web site and purchased Apple software at a reduced price...."

"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."

I guess his claim to own 900 Macs aroused some suspicion? Lawfuel's Lawfool of the month.

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.
