Paul Shin Devine, a global supply manager at technology company Apple since 2005, was accused by federal authorities of accepting kickbacks from six Asian companies. Authorities did not name the companies but said they were located in South Korea, China, Taiwan and Singapore. Devine, 37, also faces a civil suit filed by Cupertino, California-based Apple, which accused him of receiving more than $1 million in payments and bribes over several years, the San Jose Mercury News reported. Devine appeared in court on Friday in San Jose but no bail was set, according to court documents. He is scheduled to return to court on Monday. Devine was charged in a federal grand jury indictment on Wednesday with 23 counts of wire fraud, money laundering, conspiracy and accepting kickbacks, court documents showed. "Apple is committed to the highest ethical standards in the way we do business," Apple spokesman Steve Dowling said in a statement, according to the Mercury News. "We have zero tolerance for dishonest behavior inside or outside the company." Devine allegedly used his position at Apple to obtain confidential information that he shared with Apple suppliers to help them negotiate favorable contracts with the company, according to the indictment. In return, the suppliers paid Devine kickbacks, which he allegedly shared with Andrew Ang of Singapore. Ang was charged with three counts of wire fraud and conspiracy. The investigation was conducted jointly by the FBI and Internal Revenue Service. Apple and prosecutors were not immediately available to comment on Saturday.

I didn’t know that Steve Jobs spreading half-truths — at best — at a major press conference counted as maintaining the “highest ethical standards,” either. mgear Report As Abusive Aug 14, 2010 7:21pm EDT Jobs must be pulling his hair out over this. Poor thing! STORYBURNthere Report As Abusive Aug 14, 2010 10:16pm EDT This could be very discouraging to Apple’s army of loyal users. The earliest ones, like me, were attracted not only to the product but the pure passion and transparency of its founders who started the company in a garage. articulator Report As Abusive Aug 14, 2010 10:40pm EDT @mgear-Antenna problem on iPhone is a challenge to the whole mobile industry. In all SMART phone the problem persist. Other smartphone users do not experience that because of the protective layer, already built in. Whereas Apple is now providing bumper case. Abhide Report As Abusive Aug 14, 2010 11:45pm EDT @Abhide: I guess you bought Stevie’s explanation. Jobs stated that all phones have the same problem. Is that true? Well, it’s true that all phones’ signals are attenuated when held. What Steve didn’t bother to say was that the iPhone 4’s signal is attenuated to a MUCH HIGHER DEGREE than other phones when held. This is the case even with the bumper cases, and tests have verified it. Think of it this way. I can tell you that all animals have mass, and that would be true. It’s also true, however, that elephants have much MORE mass than kittens, and that that difference can be VERY important. I’d much rather have a kitten fall on me than an elephant, wouldn’t you? First Apple said “don’t hold it that way.” Then they said — incorrectly — that it was a software problem. That there has been a software problem regarding the display of bars is a completely separate — albeit suspicious — issue. Then Apple said that there was a problem, but that all phones had the problem — ignoring the fact that the problem is much more prominent with the iPhone 4 than it is with other phones. “Highest ethical standards,” indeed. The sad thing is that the iPhone 4 generally does have better reception than the iPhone 3gs, at least when “held correctly”. Yet Apple still feels the need to deceive. mgear Report As Abusive Aug 15, 2010 3:25am EDT @articulator: Transparency? You mean how Jobs lied and stole money from Woz since the very beginning?
