NJ admits defrauding Cisco of millions of dollars
A former computer contractor for the City of Newark has admitted he cheated technology giant Cisco Systems of several million dollars. In pleading guilty Wednesday to mail fraud and tax evasion, Michael Kyereme admitted he fraudulently obtained computer parts from Cisco and then resold them.
The 41-year-old Piscataway man faces up to 20 years in federal prison when sentenced in November. He remains free on $500,000 bond. When arrested in March 2007, authorities said Kyereme cheated San Jose, Calif.-based Cisco of more than $10 million, but no figure was specified Wednesday.

To me, this is “codeword” for “we’re no longer promoting CallVantage and expect AT&T to end CallVantage entirely in the near future.” I’ve read about many affiliate programs that when they’re ended, it’s the end of the road for that product. Further, the emails explains, “We ask that you remove all of your promotion of the CallVantage product on/before July 7th and we recommend that you swap out your creative to another of our product offerings such as High Speed DSL or our latest flagship product, UVerse.”
