One of the most memorable schemes in the world of movie theft has to be director Mike Judge’s accounting scam. office space. Inspired by a similar scam from superman iiithe pop culture inspiration only made this fictional act of theft all the more endearing.
This was confirmed in a recent real-life crime, where a programmer was arrested for a similar crime mimicking both movies and more. looks like someone Hulu subscription it may have caused them problems.
According to the summary reported by seattle weather Ermenildo “Ernie” Castro, 28, wasn’t too young to get his inspiration from the 1999 comedy cult classic. Using various types of malware, Castro was able to siphon off, and sometimes double, the shipping costs paid by the customers of the his former employer, Zulily. Additionally, part of the $400,000 he was accused of stealing came from household goods price adjustments, allowing him to pay $250 for $41,000 worth of goods.
Perhaps in the least brilliant move of all this blackmail, Ermenildo Castro was naming documents on his work computer.”office space project.” Although the film has certainly inspired people around the world, as seen in both Wal-Mart’s big commercial from last year Yes an episode of NCIS extension , none of these cases involved criminal activity. At least none against which someone could make a valid claim.
Honestly, if I really wanted to be specific, I probably should have titled it”superman iii project.” Here is the scene of DC movie which inspired Mike Judge’s merry band of white-collar criminals:
If only the attacker had stood up office space pattern of small rounding errors that accumulate over time. While Ernie Castro would eventually be caught, he might have a few more minutes to try and buy faulty office equipment to destroy in the open field.
The power of movies can work both ways. one day you have it office space inspiring TGI Fridays to ditch the style Yes introducing the term “butt clown” popular speeches, and the following has stories like this that remind us to think a little more carefully before attempting felonies that result in two counts of first-degree theft and an additional charge of first-degree identity theft.
you can see office space on your favorite streaming device, as long as you have access to Hulu or AMC+ at the time of writing. Though here at 24 News Bulletin we have to stress that if you want to draw inspiration from a historical comedy, let it approach your work with a crime-free state of Zen, or realize when it’s time to take up a new profession, if only because you are not completely satisfied with what you are currently doing. In any case, crime does not pay!
