Zynga Temp Employee Arrested for Swiping $100K in Company Equipment

Zynga Temp Employee Arrested for Swiping $100K in Company Equipment

Keith Brown, 21, was arrested on Tuesday at gaming company Zynga's after allegedly stealing an estimated $100,000 worth of equipment. Brown stands accused of taking company laptops, desktop computers and software.

His crimes were captured on secutiry video. Not the brightest criminal, is he?

Brown is charged with four "felony counts of commercial burglary, one of receiving stolen property, one of grand theft and one of embezzlement."

In related news, Zynga stole back millions of dollars of stock from its very own employees. Zynga CEO Mark Pincus, according to the Wall Street Journal, demanded his early employees to return some of the stock they own before the company's initial public offering. The stock, it seems, is simply too valuable and pricey, so they want it back now. If employees refused to return said stock, they could possibly face termination.

Known for games like “FarmVille” and “Mafia Wars," Zynga is worth billions of dollars.
