Sales manager pleads guilty to corporate spying

HACKENSACK, N.J. - A former corporate sales manager has pleaded guilty to felony wiretapping for secretly listening in to a northern New Jersey company's internal conference calls.

Forty-eight-year-old David Goldenberg of Oceanside, N.Y., entered the plea Monday in a deal with Bergen County prosecutors, who had charged him with five counts of wiretapping and data theft.

He was also accused of intercepting e-mails between employees and marketing contractors of Rockleigh, N.J.-based Crestron Electronics in 2007 and 2008.

Crestron officials estimate they lost more than $10 million as a result.

Goldenberg, who was employed by a Texas-based company at the time of the crime, faces up to five years in prison.
