Former NBA player stole $14,000 in Apple Store merchandise by pretending to checkout with EasyPay | 9to5Mac


Former NBA player Rex Chapman was arrested today on nine counts of organized retail theft and five counts of trafficking stolen property after police discovered that he had stolen over $14,000 worth of merchandise from a Scottsdale, Arizona Apple Store, according to CBS Sports.

According to police, Chapman managed to get away with so much loot by pretending he was using the iPhone-based EasyPay system, which allows customers to check themselves out through the Apple Store application without the assistance of an employee. Except Chapman wasn’t actually scanning or paying for anything. He was just going through the motions.

After leaving the store, Chapman would then hit up a local pawn shop to offload the pilfered products at a profit.

During his 12-year NBA career, Chapman became the first player to ever sign to the Charlotte Hornets, then played for Washington, Miami, and Phoenix before retiring in 2000.

Chapman had a huge model train addiction.

Saw this when it broke and was just SMH.

I believe he was employed as an announcer (unless he lost that gig) and they get paid fairly well.

Then again, Walker blew 100M, so I guess that makes him 5 times more stupider

Whatever prison he goes to just got a sharpshooter for their basketball team.

Dude is 6' 7" and he's Rex Chapman. Lose some damn weight and move to Lexington where you'll never pay for a meal or open a door again. How hard can this be?!
