The undersheriff and a Sara Clara County agent have struck a deal with the Apple executive, according to a two-year investigation by authorities. Moyer, according to the information, agreed to supply two hundred iPads to obtain firearms permits for Apple employees.
The iPads together were worth $ 70,000 (about $ 59,000). According to authorities, Moyer promised to ship the iPads, but that never happened because the undersheriff involved and Moyer got wind of the investigation.
The suspects will be heard on the case in January next year. Those involved can face jail sentences if found guilty.
