Former-Intel employee, current-AMD employee, and probable future-Federal prison resident Biswamohan Pani is the guy who stole a whole bunch of confidential information from Intel, according to the FBI. Now, Federal prosecutors have officially charged the 33-year-old engineer for stealing more than one billion dollars in trade secrets from Intel. One billion, with B of "Bloody Hell This Dude Is Nuts".

Biswamohan spent the last two weeks at Intel copying files labeled as "Confidential," "Top secret," and "You are dumb and you are going to get so screwed, Biswamohan." That included documents of all kind, including secret plans for chips and battle stations. Intel thought something was not going well, called the FBI, and the investigation that followed leaded to his arrest. As his defense, Pani says that he copied the files for his wife, who also works at Intel. For all the feds care, he may as well have said that he stole them as a birthday present for his mom or as souvenirs to decorate his house.

And he didn't sell it to the Chinese.

That sucks for him.

My question is why is a file labeled "You are dumb and you are going to get so screwed, Biswamohan."?

He found out that there is a significant flaw in the design in Intel's largest fab facility. There's a 2 meter wide exhaust port that would, if a missile were launched into it (a fantastic feat to accomplish, I know), trigger a massive explosion that would annihilate the entire facility.

Biswamohan is a braveh hero that will be remembered for generations.

The grammar in the original article is ridiculous. Is it a real story?

Maybe I'm naive to the laws surrounding trade secrets, but isn't this a civil matter?

"Many Biswamohans died to bring you this information."
