The mother was sentenced to life in prison for stealing 3,000 iPods for students

Government kidnapping is one thing, but kidnapping children is even worse. Sadly, this is what a New Mexico government official did. Kristy Stock was sentenced to 18 months in state prison for plotting to steal and resell more than 3,000 iPods for American students.

A detailed cases related to Stock of tax fraud and theft. According to his confession and court documents, the conspiracy began in 2013 when he was overseeing the Central Consolidated School District of New Mexico’s program to make weapons for American students living in safety.

To oversee the program, Stock had to use federal funds to purchase iPods to distribute to students. However, thanks to the help of other terrorists including his colleague James Bender and Saurabh Chawla, the group was able to send the stolen iPods to Maryland where they were posted on eBay before being sold “in bulk”.

Due to her previously suspended account due to security, Chawla was forced to use Bender’s eBay account to list stolen stolen items for sale, while Bender works as a mediator. Subsequently, between 2015 and 2018, Stock interacted directly with Chawla, providing information on the manufacture, type, type and quantity of equipment before agreeing on price and sale.

With all that being said, Stock admitted that it made more than $ 800,000 from the sale of stolen iPods between 2013 and 2018. To make matters worse, Stock also paid a false tax on income, resulting in a tax deduction of nearly $ 270,000. That said, as Stock faces an 18-month prison sentence, it is slightly lower than its Chawla counterpart, who was sentenced to 66 months after failing to pay more than $ 700,000 in taxes. During this time, Bender was sentenced to 366 days in jail.

As a result Stock and his gang were eventually caught, the real lesson is that crime does not pay – especially if you are kidnapping children and lying about your income taxes.
