Bloomberg – Intel Corp. said Rajiv Goel, a defendant in the Galleon Group LLC insider-trading case, is no longer an employee at the chipmaker.
Chuck Mulloy, a spokesman for Intel, the world’s biggest chipmaker, said he can’t comment on the circumstances of Goel’s departure. Goel left the Santa Clara, California-based company before the end of last year, Mulloy said.
Goel, who was a managing director in Intel’s treasury group, was charged on Oct. 16 for passing tips to Galleon co- founder Raj Rajaratnam about a company that Intel invested in, according to a criminal complaint in federal court in Manhattan. Intel placed him on administrative leave following his arrest.
