The whole plot was supposed to start in 2019, when Frazee and his partner were able to reset the password to one of the employees' accounts using an unspecified tool.ancof the company that provides for Apple customer support. Through this account, they were then able to hack into the accounts of other employeesancand subsequently into the systems of the company. Through these, they subsequently got into the ordering system Applu, where they started to run wild. Specifically, they placed fraudulent orders and then modified them so that they appeared as inconspicuous as possible while at the same time generating interesting "bonuses". The men were thus able, for example, to extend contracts for Apple Care, buy Final Cut, but also get free gift cards to Apple Hundreds, or rather, to App Store. Apple however, with the discrepancy after two long years, he noticed the activity, quickly identified the perpetrators, and now charges them with wire fraud, mail fraud, conspiracy to defraud, and other such types of things. The accused now face up to 20 years in prison, while of course they have to return or pay everything they stole in this way.
