The 40-year-old has agreed to plead guilty to four felonies, including conspiracy to gain unauthorized access to a computer. The Los Angeles Times cites court records that show Chi admitted that he impersonated Apple customer support staff in emails that tricked unsuspecting victims into providing him with their Apple IDs and passwords.
