SAN FRANCISCO — A federal judge has ordered fallen corporate recruiter David Nosal to pay $827,983 in restitution to Korn/Ferry International, including $595,758 to cover his former employer’s fees to O’Melveny & Myers.
Federal prosecutors had advocated a $1.35 million restitution award for Korn/Ferry. In a 13-page order issued Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Edward Chen in San Francisco took a red pen to that request, particularly the proposed $948,703 for attorney fees. But he still found that Nosal’s case, which made new law under a controversial computer hacking statute, called for restitution, noting that Korn/Ferry had devoted eight years to the criminal investigation and prosecution.
