Apple’s head of global security indicted on bribery charges

Thomas Moyer, who has run Apple’s security department since 2013, according to his LinkedIn page, had applied for concealed-weapons permits, according to the release. The sheriff’s office held up the application, the news release alleges, until Moyer agreed to get Apple to donate $70,000 worth of iPads.

I don’t recall the policy on bribes at Apple, but at another Silicon Valley behemoth, the official policy was basically, “In some countries, you may be asked for a bribe in order to do business. If doing so is not illegal, get ’er done.” I may have paraphrased a bit, but based on what I see in the news, that seems to be Apple’s policy as well. Nice to know we’re in a country where a little baksheesh is just part of doing business.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
