Ex-Apple engineer sentenced to six months in prison for stealing self-driving car tech
Xiaolang Zhang, the former Apple employee who pleaded guilty to stealing information about the development of the company's self-driving vehicle, has been sentenced to 120 days in prison followed by a three-year supervised release.
So 120 days or 6 months? Which is it?
Business days.
Ahh he gets weekends at home, how considerate!
It's Mars days obviously
It may be a 6 month sentence with an early release after 120 days, followed by 3 years supervision. However, perhaps if he served the full 6 months he wouldn't have the supervised release.
I don't know, I'm just guessing.
Could be time served as well. Still dumb to list 6 months in headline then say something else in the article without clarifying.
A Monf has 20 dais so do the math, dummy
Zhang resigned from Apple following a paternity leave and a trip to China, telling the iPhonemaker that he was going to work in the country for XPeng Motors. That reportedly triggered an investigation, since XPeng is also working on autonomous driving technology, which revealed that Zhang was caught on CCTV taking hardware from Apple's labs and transferring files to his wife's computer.
6 months is not long enough.
This is stealing trade secrets, then fleeing to a country that doesn't give a shit about that.
How long do you think Tim Cook should go to jail for stealing?
I hate to say this, but there is no Stalin on you.
Yes, we must protect capital.
We should when it's other capital that wants to steal it.
Will no one think of the shareholders???
I mean, there's also been five years of trials
How long is Tim Cook going to jail for stealing the technology for the apple watch?
Infringing on a patent and literally stealing hardware, and taking it to a Chinese competitor, are on completely different levels.
