Former Employee Stole $1M in Tools | Milwaukee News

A former Milwaukee Tool IT employee, Mathew Yang, just got five years in prison plus five years of supervision for stealing over $1 million worth of tools — all by exploiting his insider access and manipulating the company’s ordering system. He racked up 115 fake orders, mostly in March alone, shipped tools to an apartment complex without paying, and even kept a spreadsheet of retail prices suggesting he was reselling them. The company caught on when a shipping firm flagged the suspicious 9,000-pound delivery. Despite some recovered shipments, the total loss hit just over $1 million — and Yang’s now on the hook for full restitution.
