confucy,
Once again some facts.....
"""Lewis De Payne, 39, who was charged along with Mitnick in the scheme to obtain proprietary software, pleaded guilty earlier this year to a federal wire fraud count for attempting to obtain software from a cellular phone company. By pleading guilty, DePayne acknowledged that he and Mitnick participated in a scheme to defraud Nokia Mobile Phones, Ltd. De Payne specifically admitted that he posed as a Nokia employee and attempted to convince Nokia personnel in Florida to ship a computer program worth approximately $240,000 to Southern California.
De Payne is currently scheduled to be sentenced by Judge Pfaelzer on September 13. The government has agreed to recommend a sentence of five years of probation, which will include a six-month period of confinement in either a community corrections center or home detention and 225 hours of community service.
The agreement to recommend probation is contingent upon De Payne’s promise to cooperate with investigators and by any company victimized by him or Mitnick. """"
