Microsoft claims employee stole $460,000 from the company
Microsoft has sued a former director of business development in state court, accusing him of stealing nearly $460,000 from the company and trying to make off with another $1.5 million before his scheme was uncovered.
In a complaint filed with a Washington State Superior Court, Microsoft alleged that Robert D. Curry created a fake company, Blu Games, then submitted bogus invoices for non-existent services.
As a director of business development, Curry dealt with companies that promoted the downloading of Bing Bar, an Internet Explorer (IE) toolbar add-on designed to boost the use of Microsoft's search engine.
