Don't Use Computers to Committ Crimes. Duh!
Man Accused of Transporting Trade Secrets
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) -- A San Jose man was indicted Monday on charges he illegally funneled proprietary property of a Silicon Valley semiconductor company to a competitor in Taiwan.
Shin-Guo Tsai, 35, is accused of e-mailing sensitive information from Volterra Semiconductors Inc., where he was an engineer at the Fremont, Calif., company, to CMSC Inc. of Taiwan.
A bail hearing is set for Thursday. He faces a maximum 10-year prison term if convicted, and a $250,000 fine. He is accused of the foreign transportation of stolen property. FBI agents arrested him Sunday night at his San Jose residence.
