Jobs’ Mob named and shamed in corruption probe

Apple’s global security chief has been indicted on allegations he worked with the Santa Clara County undersheriff to gift 200 iPads to hasten the approval of concealed gun permits for Apple security officers.

Thomas Moyer, 50, who heads security for Jobs' Mob was indicted last week along with Undersheriff Rick Sung, District Attorney Jeff Rosen announced Monday morning.

The charges follow a corruption probe engulfing the office of Sheriff Laurie Smith. So far six people have been indicted in an investigation alleging pay-to-play deals leveraging concealed-carry weapons permits for political and other favours.

The latest indictments are an offshoot of an investigation into the sheriff’s office’s alleged trading of the coveted permits for political donations supporting Smith’s 2018 re-election.

According to Mercury News Rosen said “when high-ranking members of a law-enforcement agency are at the heart of a bribery scheme, it tarnishes the badge, the honor, and the reputations, and tragically the effectiveness of all law-enforcement agencies.”
