It's funny how threat of prison time can really bring out the good in people isn't it? Devine has to forfeit $2.28 million in ill-gotten gains stemming from his antics involving confidential information he passed on about Apple products to suppliers. It's a lengthy list of charges, <a href="http://www.justice.gov/usao/can/press/2011/2011_02_28_devine.guiltyplea.press.html" target="_blank">available here</a> to peruse at the Department of Justice site. I wonder what Apple or the Department of Justice is doing about the suppliers that paid for this information? </p>
