Do the crime, do the time: A former Wireless Zone employee's long-running scheme was busted in 2013 after he provided information about a company's new smartphone, widely believed to be the BlackBerry Z10, to an analyst in Boston.
A former wireless retail executive was sentenced to five months in prison for selling confidential industry information to an analyst whose subsequent 2013 report on sales of BlackBerry Ltd's newest smartphone sent the company's stock price down.
James Dunham, 60, was also ordered by US District Judge Douglas Woodlock in Boston to serve five months of home confinement following his prison term and to pay US$76,000 (RM322,756), after pleading guilty in June to wire fraud.
