"Power to the Players" indeed.

I've always said that GameStop's prices were criminal; I guess I wasn't too far off.
Chris Olivera was for several years vice president of corporate communications and public affairs for Gamestop. Part of his job was serving as a public face and spokesman for the Grapevine-based video game retailer. He did that just fine. It was the other part of his job, processing invoices from vendors, that got him in trouble.
Olivera was using his position to funnel some $2 million into his own bank account.
...Olivera's guilty plea was filed yesterday along with the indictment. He admits to one count of mail fraud, which carries with it a maximum 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. No word yet from Gamestop on Olivera's case, though his name seems to have stopped appearing on company press releases in mid-2011, which probably tells us something.
