Ex-Tesla Engineer Faces Federal Charges

Maybe companies can do something about disgruntled employees who post sensitive inside data. A former mechanical engineer for Tesla Motors Inc. is being charged with two counts of what’s called felony computer intrusion after leaking confidential information about Tesla, the Los Angeles Times reports. Prosecutors say Nima Kalbasi, a 28-year-old Canadian citizen, posted confidential information about the company on a public website. He could possibly face six years in federal prison if convicted.
