He could not be reached for comment. IRS Agent  Arlette Lee declined to comment on Ang&#8217;s whereabouts. The  indictment describes a scheme in which Devine used his position at Apple  to obtain confidential information, which he transmitted to Apple  suppliers, including Ang. In return, the suppliers and manufacturers  paid Devine kickbacks, which he shared with Ang. The information enabled  the suppliers to negotiate favorable contracts with Apple, according to  the indictment.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The  companies were not named in the indictment, but they were described as  suppliers of materials designed for Apple&#8217;s iPhone and iPod products.
