Intel has accused Biswahoman Pani, an ex-employee working at the company's Hudson facility, for theft of sensitive company information as he sought employment with rival AMD. In a complaint filed in late August in US District Court in Boston, FBI Special Agent Timothy Russell said in an affidavit that more than 100 pages of sensitive Intel documents, as well as 19 CAD drawings, were found in a search of Pani's house conducted on July 1.

The affidavit says that in may, Pani told his supervisors that he was unhappy because he missed his wife who worked at an Intel facility in California. Intel later agreed to transfer Mrs. Pani to the Hudson facility. Just hours after this, Pani submitted his resignation saying he was interested seeking opportunity with an investment firm. Pani said he would leave the company on June 11, and would be on vacation until that date, but that his wife would continue to work for Intel. Without the knowledge of Intel's officials, Pani was discussing a job at AMD and started working for the company on June 2, eight days before his employment with Intel was supposed to end, during which he had the company laptop and access to the company's internal network. He was ordered to give up his passport, but was not taken into custody.
