..it can still hurt and damage their billion dollar business:
Ex-Walmart worker stole 1,000 iPads, Apple watches, feds say. He’s headed to prison
A former Walmart employee was sentenced to prison after running a scheme to steal thousands of electronics from the company, feds say. Rusmaldy Jimenez-Hiciano, 38, who now lives in Goose Creek, South Carolina, has been sentenced to spend 3 years and 10 months in prison followed by 3 years of supervised release, according to a Sept. 27 news release from the Eastern District of Pennsylvania U.S. Attorney’s Office. Jimenez-Hiciano is also required to pay full restitution of $536,000 and to forfeit $461,000. While working at a Walmart distribution center in 2017 in Bethlehem, PA, Jimenez-Hiciano set up a plan to set aside high-end electronics that entered the warehouse. Then, he’d ship the merchandise to an address he controlled in Allentown and sell the products, court documents say. Jimenez-Hiciano was fired from Walmart in May 2018, but he continued stealing by staying in touch with other employees.
