Former Brocade Communications Systems CEO Gregory Reyes has been sentenced to 21 months in prison and a $15 million fine for fraud related to backdating of the storage networking company&#39;s stock options.Reyes was convicted last August&#160;in the most prominent of many criminal and civil cases in the past two years related to backdating by high-tech companies. Apple, McAfee, Rambus, and scores of other vendors have faced either internal or external probes. Reyes&#39; conviction was the first by the U.S. Department of Justice in a backdating case. Reyes was found guilty on 10 charges including securities fraud, conspiracy and falsifying financial records. He could have faced as much as 20 years in prison.The sentencing order on Wednesday from Judge Charles Breyer of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California has been stayed pending an expected appeal, which has not yet been filed, according to the court.Backdating, which involves changing the date that stock options grants were made to certain employees so they can later get a bigger profit, is not illegal but has to be accounted for properly. Many high-tech companies used the practice during the Internet boom early in this decade to attract prized employees.In the wake of Brocade&#39;s backdating problems, the company restated its results from 1999 to 2004. The scandal also led to charges against Stephanie Jensen, former vice president of human resources, and Michael Byrd, the company&#39;s former CFO and COO.

(InfoWorld) - A U.S. government employee who used his work computer to download child pornography for about 10 years was sentenced Wednesday to 15 years in prison, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) said. Robert M. Carey, 52, had more than 1 million images of child pornography on his home and office computers, in photo albums, or on DVDs and CD-ROMs when law enforcement authorities searched his home and office in August 2005, the DOJ said. Carey, of Bowie, Maryland, was charged with producing and possessing child pornography. In addition to the jail sentence, Judge Roger W. Titus of U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland ordered Carey to pay US$50,000 in restitution to a victimized family member, the DOJ said. Carey, an employee of the U.S. National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) since 1974, took pictures of himself and a girl engaged in sexual acts when the victim was between the ages of eight and 13, the DOJ said. Some of those pictures were taken at the NOAA office, the DOJ said. Carey pleaded guilty to the charges in May. He fled the U.S. after his Dec. 21, 2005 indictment. He was featured on the television show "America's Most Wanted" on Jan. 21, and he was arrested on Jan. 24 after turning himself in to U.S. officials in Rome, Italy. Carey's sentencing came one day after a Wichita, Kansas, man was sentenced to 19 years in prison after sharing child pornography videos in a Yahoo Inc. chat room.
