if the system allowed these people to apply for the rebate its a system problem and not an employee problem.please show me a system in the world where holes are not put there for good reason.Things like this dont get forgotten or overlooked in a corporation.Someone at apple would have known this would happen and either okayed it , or got negligent about it.To blame the employee for taking advantage of parameters put in place by the employer is like shooting the messenger and nothing like theft at all.
