Apple worker commits suicide over lost iPhone prototype

[mr monday niight]

Last week, a 25-year-old communications worker died in an "apparent suicide" after losing track of a prototype iPhone built by Foxconn, his employer, for one of the most secretive companies in technology. It was only a matter of time.

First, a recap: Sun Danyong's death came after a case of prototype iPhones he was charged with shipping to Apple's headquarters in Cupertino ended up short by one. Sun couldn't produce the device and claimed not to know what had happened; security officials at Foxconn, the manufacturer of Apple's iPhone and Sun's employer, didn't buy his story. At all.

In the days following the incident, Sun quite possibly went through hell. He confided in his university friends-he had just graduated-that his house had been searched repeatedly and without announcement, that he had been endlessly interrogated, that he'd been held in solitary confinement, and even that he'd been outright tortured by security guards. Soon after, he was found dead at the base of his apartment building, having fallen 14 stories. He died, one way or another, for a phone. Yeah, no, you're right: This is ****ing crazy.

damn i suck

I didn't read all of it..

title stays

He was totured because of the lost phone because if it was leaked to competitors it would have lost apple/foxconn alot of money because competitors can put outwhat new @!+* apple was gonna do first or make something similar. Foxconn would have lost their apple contract so thats would have been millions lost becauseof one Employee. He was tortured and then thrown out of a window for whateva he did with the phone.

uh, no it's not. that prototype was sold awhile ago, not the 4G iphone prototype.

it would have lost Foxconn a billion dollar contract with apple.

i think you're thinking of this one. the one i posted before has a serial number on the side, which allowed foxconn to trace it to theemployee

 

[cwrite78]

nope, that was for first iphone. one u posted was for either 3G or 3GS, not sure which one. that was was found and sold about a month ago.
