A former Microsoft employee was sentenced to 17 months in prison Tuesday after fraudulently ordering more than $6 million in software and then selling it to a third party. Kori Robin Brown, 31, was an administrative assistant in Microsoft's Xbox division when she used her work computer to order millions of dollars worth of high-end software from ClientLogic, a business providing warehouse facilities for Microsoft.
She then sold the software to a third party for between $50,000 and $100,000, according to the office of the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Washington, where Brown was sentenced. The crimes were committed sometime between Oct. 13, 1998 and August 4, 2000, the U.S. attorney's office said.
