SEATTLE, Washington (AP) -- A former Microsoft employee accused of stealing software worth $17 million was charged with 62 counts of mail and computer fraud.
Richard Gregg, 43, of Bellevue, Washington, pleaded innocent to the charges Monday.
Gregg, a former project coordinator for Windows development, is accused of ordering software with a retail value of $17 million through the company's internal software ordering system and then reselling it.
The investigation was sparked by a similar case in which an employee, Daniel Feussner, was accused of stealing software with a retail value of $9 million and then using the money to buy expensive cars and jewelry.
Feussner, who was awaiting trial on federal charges of wire, mail and computer fraud, died in February after drinking antifreeze.
