Three former DHS employees were sentenced on Friday for their roles in a conspiracy to steal proprietary U.S. software and law enforcement databases for use in a commercial venture.
Charles K. Edwards, the former acting inspector general of the DHS Office of Inspector General, was sentenced to one year and six months in prison, having pleaded guilty in January 2022 to charges alleging government property theft and intent to defraud the U.S. Those charges included theft of Microsoft product activation keys valued at $350,000.
