Microsoft's former director of sports marketing and alliances was indicted Wednesday by a federal grand jury for five counts of wire fraud, according to a DOJ press release.
The release states that Jeff Tran, 45, allegedly used his position to steal more than $1.5 million through the creation and submission of fraudulent invoices and the unauthorized use of other Microsoft assets.
According to the indictment, Tran was responsible for determining which employees would receive company Super Bowl tickets. But instead of distributing the tickets, in January 2017, Tran sold over 60 tickets through a broker and pocketed more than $200,000.
