The woman stole more than $4 million worth of laptops beginning in 2009 or 2010, prosecutors said.
SACRAMENTO — A Stanford University employee and her brother were sentenced to more than a year in prison for what prosecutors say was a scheme to steal and sell more than $4 million worth of Apple Macbooks from the school.
According to court documents, Patricia Castaneda worked in the School of Humanities and Sciences and ordered MacBooks for university faculty and staff. Prosecutors said Patricia Castaneda began stealing MacBooks in 2009 and 2010 and ordered and sold them for cash through someone she met on Craigslist. In February 2016, she started giving the Macbooks to Eric Castaneda to sell to someone named Philip James who resold and shipped the laptops from Folsom to other buyers.
Folsom resident James, 35, pleaded guilty last week to transporting stolen property interstate, according to authorities. James bought almost 1,000 stolen laptops from October 2015 through June 2020 and resold and shipped them from Folsom to buyers outside of California, according to court documents.
