Cory Beck, a senior manager in the information technology department at Tesla, the electric car maker, pleaded guilty to three counts of filing false tax returns after he failed to disclose more than $220,000 in income generated from selling MacBooks he stole from his employer.
Beck had access to the company’s vast array of computer products. He stole the laptops from October 2015 to March 2018.
He faces up to three years in prison and fines totaling $100,000 for each of the three counts he pleaded guilty to.
