The indictment says Mario Easevoli was presidentof North Carolina-based Synergy Communications Corp. Jennifer Easevoli was vice president. Authorities say the three used fictitious companies to get networking equipment parts from California-based Cisco. They sold the parts, depositing proceeds in a Synergy account.
Court papers did not say if the Easevolis have attorneys. The Bureau of Prisons Web site said Mario Easevoli was being held in Oklahoma City and had no listing for Jennifer Easevoli.

Might be someone working at Cisco. $23 million is a lot to stiff without some inside help.
