Ett par Cisco-nissar (Geoffrey Osowski (30 år) och Wilson Tang (35 år)) tänkte blåsa företaget på lite stålar, men det gick åt skogen. Finns ingen anledning för mig att beskriva hur det gick till, när det står så klockrent i en gammal artikel:
Ca 8 miljoner ($) dollar är en ganska 'nätt' och jämn summa.
Hade detta kunnat gå vägen? Undrar man

In pleading guilty, Mr. Osowski and Mr. Tang admitted that between October 2000 and March 27, 2001, they participated together in a scheme to defraud Cisco Systems in order to obtain Cisco stock that they were not authorized to obtain. As part of the scheme, they exceeded their authorized access to computer systems at Cisco in order to access a computer system used by the company to manage stock option disbursals, used that access to identify control numbers to track authorized stock option disbursals, created forged forms purporting to authorize disbursals of stock, faxed the forged requests to the company responsible for controlling and issuing shares of Cisco Systems stock, and directed that stock be placed in their personal brokerage accounts. The two defendants admitted that the first time that they did this, in December 2000, they caused 97,750 shares of Cisco stock to be placed in two separate Merrill Lynch accounts, with 58,250 of the shares deposited in an account set up by Mr. Osowski and 39,500 shares deposited in an account set up by Mr. Tang. In February 2001, they caused two additional transfers of stock, in amounts of 67,500 shares and 65,300 shares, to be transferred to brokerage accounts in their names. The total value of the Cisco stock that they took on these three occasions (at the time that they transferred the stock) was approximately $7,868,637.
