A Washington man allegedly transferred thousands of dollars from his employer into a personal account after being inspired by the 1999 cult movie “Office Space,” according to an arrest report by the Seattle Police Department.
Ermenildo Valdez Castro, 28, worked for the online retailer Zulily as a software engineer from December 2018 until he was fired in June, according to police. “Starting in the spring of 2022, Castro began editing Zulily’s software code in ways that allowed him to steal from the company,” the police report said. Police said Castro inserted three types of malicious code in the checkout process at Zulily and by using those methods, “stole a combined $302,278.52 before he was terminated in June 2022.
Castro also told authorities he placed orders for over 1,000 items that were shipped to his house, and that they were part of a “testing process that Zulily was aware about, but he claimed that there was a script that was to be run shortly thereafter that would essentially cancel the order and ensure the orders did not process,” the report said.
