Stealing Apple trade secrets can get you 120 days in prison and a boatload of debt


Apple’s Project Titan could lead to an Apple Car



A former Apple engineer who pled guilty to stealing trade secrets related to Apple Car has finally been sentenced to 120 days in prison, three years probation, and $146,984 in restitution.

The agreement details are unknown, but Zhang’s sentencing has finally been completed. The court filing was first shared by 9to5Mac, which says Zhang has been sentenced to 120 days of imprisonment, three years of supervised release, and $146, 984 in restitution.

He had belonged to Apple’s not-so-secret Project Titan, which is working on technology that may lead to an Apple Car. While on leave, Zhang told Apple he wasn’t returning so he could move to China, take care of his sick mother, and work for a company called XMotors.
