A former Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) engineer has been sentenced to nine years for stealing more than $10 million in digital value from his past employer in the form of “currency stored value," or CSV, including gift cards.
Volodymyr Kvashuk, a 26-year-old Ukrainian citizen residing in Washington, used the accounts and identities of his fellow employees to steal and then sell the CSV — making it appear as though his co-workers were responsible for the fraud.
