Guy allegedly stole hundreds of thousands from work and then lost it all on GameStop:
Documents filed by prosecutors in Kings County Superior Court last month detail an audacious scheme by a white collar worker to rip off his bosses, a scheme whose execution left more than a little to be desired. Charged with two counts of felony theft and one count of felony identity theft, Castro allegedly manipulated the code on Zulily’s checkout page to siphon off at least $261,885 in shipping fees into his personal Stripe banking account.
He then allegedly proceeded to change the prices on products, paying pennies on the dollar for them and having them shipped directly to his home where they piled up in front of his door. Prosecutors claim he stole $40,842 this way for a total theft amount of $302,278.52. When interviewed by police after his arrest, Castro admitted the figure could have been even higher, but said the money was all gone.
According to prosecutors, Castro began skimming off the top of Zulily’s transactions in February 2022. The company became aware of the discrepancies the following month and ordered Castro and others to investigate. That’s when he allegedly updated the code to double charge customers. The company had also started to flag the unusual purchases shipping to Castro’s home.
