Eight GameStop employees have been found guilty of buying games for trade-in, after being told the games were stolen.
Much of GameStop's profits come from reselling games it buys from the public. The GameStop employees were offered games for trade-in by undercover cops who told them they were stolen.
The GameStop employees were acting on behalf of the retailer, and did not profit from the transactions personally.
GameStop's regional vice president of stores Rory Rhoads commented, "GameStop takes this situation quite seriously.
The defendants all pleaded guilty to theft and were ordered to serve a year's probation.
