Samsung vice chairman was already arrested earlier this year for corruption, so this dude was just following his superiors' practices. Plus it's probably nicer to own money to a legit corporation than some mafia run gambling parlour. At least you aren't in a danger of losing internal organs.

How Samsung managed to not notice this sooner?

Body scanner? Hmm well modern smart phones are small I guess but two years come down to 730 days or less with actual work days and 8500 some phones come down to something like over 10 a day having to be smuggled out via whatever means he used... Kinda doubt he did that though but that's a really large amount of phones before they caught on and discovered what was happening. Debts can make people do stupid things, he almost managed to pay it off too. (Possibly, who knows how it was spent in the end, guessing it has to be paid back now too to Samsung among other fines.) EDIT: Well I don't know how it works, I would have at least assumed a baggage check or even having to turn over items in pockets and such even if he could just avoid the metal scanner itself but maybe not? Security should be pretty strong though to avoid data theft or someone leaving with a actual physical phone especially things like the newest models, not just stuffing an entire bag or whatever full of the things and up and leave without any checks at all. (Wheelchair sure that might interfere with a metal scanner but loose bags or suitcases would be possible to scan.) Although I suppose smart cards or USB sticks are even smaller and more easily concealed and they can't exactly strip everyone as they're leaving for work, it's an office building after all and not some military installation or high-security airport or whatever. (Not that that's exactly common for those places either.) I suppose keeping inventory and having cameras worked, even if it took a while for some weird reason. (Just a few phones going missing should have been enough to cause a response, being able to get several thousand of them out is just strange.)

An average of 12 phones per day

I think he was rolling with one of this... That's why noone searched him! 😀 https://s21.postimg.org/az638xa5z/cta.jpg Disclaimer: No offense to disabled people. In my defense I'm probably way more mentally disabled. :P

Really? No one finds it strange that he had gambling debt of over 700K $ in CHINA?! And coincidentally, everything he stole ended up paying that debt? Cool, no one will search for the money. How convenient. 😉

If he was really smart, he would have invested that money elsewhere and retired with a good life, instead of gambling it away. Cannot judge a book by its cover. Need to flip the pages to see its value.

Debts are often sold to companies handling extortion. I guess he is in no better position...

Steals on wheels. hehehe :P

Wonder how he will pace his jail cell in a wheel chair. 1 meter to the front, 1 meter to the back. Over and over.

nah, that mofo bought 700K$ of bitcoin, untraceable to him but perfectly good to buy a passport and leave China and go to live out rest of his life in some nice place.
