A former employee of Microsoft was sentenced on Wednesday to 21 months in prison for obtaining software meant for corporate use and selling it for personal profit, local authorities said. Wilson Delancy, 36, was ordered to pay more than $4 million in restitution to the world's largest software maker for buying stolen software from another former employee, Kori Robin Brown, in order to sell it for personal gain, John McKay, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Washington, said in a statement. Brown was sentenced to 17 months in prison last November for stealing software meant for corporate use.
