The corporate-espionage case of David Goldenberg, former executive with AMX Corp., is rocking the world of high-end office and consumer electronics systems where Goldenberg, who broke into Sapphire marketing’s e-mail systems to steal information about competitor Creston Electronics, all knew each other well.
A corporate-espionage case in which an executive from electronics manufacturer, AMX Corp, broke into the e-mail system of the marketing firm working for a competitor Crestron Electronics to steal sensitive business information has rocked that industry. David Goldenberg, a resident of Long Island and former vice president in the New York-area office of Richardson, Texas.-based AMX Corp., pled guilty this week in a New Jersey courtroom to felony wiretapping in connection with illegally accessing the internal e-mail at Crestron’s sales and marketing firm, Sapphire Marketing, based in Woodcliff Hills, N.J.
As part of the plea deal with the Bergen Court Prosecutor’s Office, which has spared Goldenberg from a criminal trial, the prosecutor there, Brian Lynch, is recommending probation.
