United States v. Andrew Auernheimer (Apr 11, 2014)
Back when Apple first unveiled the iPad, consumers who purchased the iPad with cellular/3G data capabilities were required to purchase a contract with AT&T and register their accounts online using an AT&T website. The registration process assigned the customer’s email address as their user ID. AT&T, in an attempt to simplify the login process for return users, programmed the website to autofill the customer’s user ID (email address) based on a unique identifier programmed into the SIM card of the user’s new iPad. When the website detected this unique identifier, only associated with an iPad, it would populate the user ID field accordingly.
Andrew Auernheimer, a.k.a “Weev”, discovered a flaw in the website’s programming that allowed him to

Christopher Correa, 2016
Christopher Correa was the Director of Baseball Development for the St. Louis Cardinals MLB team from 2009 through 2015. He was responsible for providing analytical support to the various aspects of the Cardinals’ baseball organization. In 2016, he was charged with five counts of unauthorized access of a protected computer, a violation of the CFAA. Correa had admitted to accessing confidential or proprietary information belonging to the Houston Astros baseball organization to give the Cardinals’ organization a strategic advantage when competing against the Astros.
Correa admitted that during a period of time from 2013 through 2014, he had accessed a proprietary database, called Ground Control. This database was used by Astros to store data such as player statistics, contract details, scouting reports, and other analysis which was used to discover any advantages or vulnerabilities in their gameplay that may have gone unnoticed by competitors. Correa had illegally obtained the login information of an Astros employee and used that information to access the Ground Control database. [3]
United States v. Robert E. Steele,
During the time of the scandal, which broke in mid-2005, PBS&J had 4,000 employees in 75 offices in 24 states (Barnett, 2007). A number of high-profile projects were under construction with FDOT, OOCEA, and TxDOT. The funds from these projects were being brought into the firm at a rapid rate; however, PBS&J contained a flimsy internal controls system which facilitated the embezzlement that eventually took place. The major players of the scandal were located in the firm’s Miami office. They were Scott DeLoach, then chief financial officer (CFO); Maria Garcia, an accounting employee who was in charge of the office’s database and bank reconciliations; and Rosario Licata, a bookkeeper who maintained the firm’s benefits bank account (Eubanks, 2016).

As I viewed the case of Gary L. Sampson, 41, he can best be described as a man dependent on liquor and cocaine, a miscreant father, and a bank burglar with a long history of brutality. On August 1, 2001, he handed himself over to the Vermont State Police in the wake of escaping from interest for a string of three killings he submitted in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. The individuals who knew Sampson estimated that his homicides were an urgent finale to a pained life. Amid his initial life in New England, he once bound, choked, and beat three elderly ladies in a treat store. He had commandeered autos at knifepoint and was therapeutically analyzed as schizophrenic. In 1977, he wedded a 17-year-old young lady he had impregnated; after two months, he was captured and accused of assault for having "unnatural intercourse with a

When a person takes steps toward the commission of a crime and has a specific intent to commit the crime, but for unforeseen reasons is unable to complete the crime the person has committed the crime of Attempt (Jirard, 2009). In the case of the State of Indiana versus Donald J. Haines, emergency personnel including two police officers [Dennis and Hayworth] along with emergency medical technicians [Garvey and Robinson] responded to Mr. Haines’s apartment for a report of a possible suicide that just occurred. When officers Dennis and Hayworth arrived at Haines’s apartment they discovered him lying face down in a pool of blood. Officer Dennis noticed that both of Haines’s wrists were cut and were bleeding. When Haines heard the paramedics he stood up, and began screaming at Dennis that he has AIDS and that he should be left to die. Dennis advised Haines that he was there to help him, and Haines told Dennis that he wanted to fuck him so that he could give him AIDS. Haines than told Dennis that he was going to utilize his wounds to spray blood on him, and began to jerk back and forth causing his infected blood to get into Dennis’ mouth and eyes. Haines told Dennis that he could not deal with having AIDS, but that he was going to make him deal with it.

During our negotiation with D.G. Barnhouse (DGB), we intend to utilize an integrative bargaining strategy with management. Before coming to this conclusion, we weighed the advantages and disadvantages of a distributive approach, however, we eventually decided to take an integrative and predominantly interest based stance versus a position based stance in our negotiations after assessing internal and external environmental factors. In addition, we settled on this strategy because we ultimately believe that management and the union share at the very least, one fundamental common interest, which is the firm’s financial stability. That being said, even with our plans to use integrative bargaining, we still plan to negotiate assertively to achieve
Those concerns and suspicions easily turn to the idea law enforcement is trying to protect someone suspected of a wrongdoing, whether it’s true or not.
The Private Equity Partnerships (PEPs) agreement contains mechanisms to align the interest of general partners (GPs) with those of the limited partners (LPs): performance incentives and direct means of control. In the case of Accel VII, we are interested in how the performance incentives align both the interest of the general and limited partners. They include the terms of the general partners’ compensation structure and calculations of management fees and carried interest. These details can significantly affect the general partners’ incentive to engage in behavior that does not maximize value for investors.
