What the heck is going through some people's minds?
A former Disney World employee just got slapped with 3 years in jail because he changed info on food menus at the park to remove food allergen information.
After a contentious termination in June 2024 from his job as menu production manager at Walt Disney World, prosecutors say Scheuer accessed the company's internal menu-building system and modified food listings.
'These intrusions included manipulating allergen information in restaurant menus to indicate that food items were safe for customers with certain allergies, when they were not,' federal prosecutors said in a Thursday statement. 'Scheuer also altered menu information related to wine regions to reflect locations of recent mass shootings.'
I don't know what level of disgruntled you have to be to potentially injure/kill total strangers like this.
I'm surprised he didn't get some kind of attempted murder charge.
He's fortunate his sabotage was spotted before it got out to customers.
The government argued that Scheuer should be sentenced to 70 months for his crimes. Defense attorney David Haas said in a statement to NBC News that Scheuer is grateful for the 36-month term.
Scheuer will receive credit for the six months he has already spent in jail and hopes to be released after serving 85% of his total sentence, according to his attorney.
His attorneys also said that he was remorseful and apologized to all of the people affected.
Maybe don't do it in the first place??

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Liberal.
That is a serious charge——people die from allergies due to a severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis, which can rapidly cause life-threatening symptoms like difficulty breathing, drop in blood pressure, and loss of consciousness. Without prompt treatment, these symptoms can lead to cardiac arrest or death.
Someone who would do something like that would almost certainly get fired eventually. The guy is an obvious sociopath and will get into conflict with supervisors and coworkers. The worker-bees at the Disney facility restaurants and parks are probably nothing like the executive suits, in other words, by-and-large normal.
Skilled sociopaths can work their way up to higher levels in organizations, but most are weeded out early.
Lots of Disney employees seem to be uptight. Maybe it’s just me.
He was fired before he did this. He was a former employee.
“According to court documents, Scheuer conducted a series of computer intrusions or attacks directed at his former employer following his termination. These intrusions included manipulating allergen information in restaurant menus to indicate that food items were safe for customers with certain allergies, when they were not. Scheuer also altered menu information related to wine regions to reflect locations of recent mass shootings. Additionally, Scheuer launched denial-of-service attacks designed to lock certain company employees out of their accounts.”
He should have been.
I went into anaphylactic shock after a platelet transfusion. Fortunately I was in the hospital. Scariest thing I ever experienced. It took multiple Benadryl injections, along with steroid injections, breathing treatments in the oxygen.
My BP dropped , couldn’t breathe. I truly thought I was going to die. They were about to intubate me when the treatments started taking effect. It happened fast and most people (out at dinner) do not have access to the type of treatment I was given.

My point was that he was fired after a contentious row with his employer. The row was due to his behavior prior to this event. He was malicious enough to burrow into their network afterwards and leave a turd. Luckily someone found out before any real damage was done, and he may actually have helped teach them to tighten security. Who would have thought that anyone would do something so pointlessly malicious?
He will never be given a position of trust more perilous than pizza delivery, and even there I would not trust him not to spit in on the deliveries.

Ok, that part is kind of funny.
But the allergen part is flat dangerous.
3 years is a long time for mischief, did anyone get sick?
Pure evil. Nothing less, and three years in prison won’t change that. In fact, he’s been given plenty of time to plot.
I agree. He’s lucky to only have to serve 3 years, and he will never get a position of trust again.
Florida Man should serve 1 count of reckless endangerment for each person who went to Disney World since he altered the menus. He could get tens of thousands of years. That would keep him off the streets and away from our food.
He’s loony. A sociopath.
Definitely should have had attempted mass murder charges. This guy should never see the light of day again
Does this idiot think he’s the only one who gets fired. I’ve been fired three times over my lifetime: the first two for performance issues, the third was for not going back to the office for my job in Silver Spring, Maryland after moving to Florida during the COVID telework period.
The person who never gets fired is either an exceptional worker or is just plain lucky (no layoffs, etc.).
See my link at post 6.
None of what this guy did was mischief.
There’s that, but I also think the online outrage/revenge culture has a lot to do with willingness to do something like this
I’m guessing he’s a sexual pervert who took out his rage on all the ‘happy sane parents’ who dared to protected their children from him.
Democrats have a way a doing violence against those who don’t agree with them.
Worst case? A happy family coming to Disney in a Tesla ... with a protective father and and loving wife... “Key That Car” says the pervert... poison the parents...
