The accused individuals are Siu Kei Kwan, 37; Yathei Yuen, 34; Yat C Ng, 35; Wentao Li, 38; Lichao Ni, 39; and Zheng Chang, 31. Prosecutors claim they tricked Apple into matching approximately $152,000 in false donations and overreported around $100,000 in charitable contributions as tax deductions.
