Former AMX VP Pleads Guilty to Spying on Crestron Rep

Just like the Bush-Cheny admin and other liers of freedom in the administration if what you say is true this guy was only out for himself and his capitol gain, Goldberg you suck Anyone can accomplish anything without deception if you keep to yourself and get it done.  Cheating is cheating you, for a dollar, come on dude what is going on?  I know how motivated Crestron is as a company and they pull together but for the shame of one fallen man to bring them down is a joke.  George runs a great company and I say disregard this as a rogue dork.  Crestron paved our ways as innovators and idea breakers. Thanks for exposing or what we think you did as the law and our country still has the last word.

To be clear AMX has the issue not Crestron and again blaim the soldier.

This is a Federal Offense, and probation is rediculous.  We must crack down on anyone using the Internet for devious purposes; the Internet will never becume Secure, until we take positive action to prosecute each and every individual using the Internet for Unlawful purposes!

I need to have the feeling that the Internet is comletely secure, and that my information is private!

There’s no question that Goldenberg is a thief and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I agree that the damage he has caused due to his theft is immeasurable, and probation is total Bull S**t.

However, I’ve heard through the grapevine that Goldenberg’s defense attorney is claiming that Crestron stole his hair and is seeking damages for that immeasurable theft.

Simple truth for Goldberg is that he’s a piece of CRAP. I’m not a Crestron fan and know many people who have had issues with them over the years. BUT that is different that this garbage.

All he did was make AMX look even worse for his own gain! If all he gets is probation then the problems within this country are still alive and strong.

No employee working hard to make a living and produce for their employer or rep firm deserves to have this garbage done to them.

Even during the height of the AMX-Crestron wars back in the day when Scott and crew were in charge was anything like this ever an issue. Goldberg is a single minded, greedy piece of SH*T. It would be bad enough to steal somebody’s email with private thoughts, communications and plans. But to take it to a business level where your taking earning potential from people is the same as breaking into their home and stealing all their valuables. That gets time in jail doesn’t it!!!!!

There was an extremely similar case here five years ago, where a WestJet executive hacked in to Air Canada’s logistics system, and used their data to undercut their seat prices.  The resolution was similar: he was forced to leave the company in disgrace, but the criminal punishment was fairly light.

I’d be interested in knowing if Crestron intends to seek redress via civil court.

You steal untold amounts of money and do considerable damage to a company and employee’s and get recommended probation??? Get caught with a couple joints and it’s jail time. There’s something so wrong with this.

I wonder how long it’ll take him to find a new job in the industry. Some smuck CEO is going to appreciate his initiative!!!

Wow!!! I can’t believe what I read, or maybe I just can’t comprehend it.

I might be one of those people who wonder if we ever landed on the moon, more than one person acted with Lee Harvey and many other things, but if he’s only looking at probation then I wonder if there isn’t MUCH more to this story than we see right now. Somebody had told me some rumors that this wasn’t as cut and dry. Of course this could just be our industry BS but it does seem odd to me that if people lost revenue and he did the things they describe he would be getting more than probation…

How disgusting, and probation is his punishment? It doesn’t suprise me that the “we dont want to hear about it anymore” parent of Phast, employed this slime ball. A perfect fit IMO.

To be honest, when it comes to white collar crime, and industrial espionage is precisely that, sentencing is typically very, very light, unless there is an overwhelming political motivation to make an example of the accused: Enron execs, Conrad Black, Patti Dunn from HP, not to mention Martha’s obstruction charge. The feds will drop the hammer in a high profile case to look like they’re being tough on crime. 

Apparently, the automation/integration channel doesn’t generate the political imperatives that being splashed on the front page of the WSJ does.

Jeremy I am glad you agree the “administration” is a bunch of liars, the current one of course. Not to mention unqualified and taking us down a path of destruction. Freedom is something you work for, its not just given. Looks like this schmuck Goldenburg will be “given” freedom just like the current administration while the sheep follow with sparkles in their eyes.

hopefuly this little scandle will signle the end of the “bad boys” and “good old boy” ugly underbelly of this industry.  reminds me of the saying desperate men doing desperate things…  as this industry transforms toward a more pc centic paradigm u will see much higher standards for professionalism as ironically information security and privacy will become much hotter topics for integrators and customers re securing;protecting and monitoring digital assets and pipelines (content and networks).  this will force vendors, integrators and individual employees to project a more corporate and refined professional image as a brand vs. the playboy/bad boy/thug branding that is rampant in this industry and the “no holds barred” approach to sales/promotion.  one other irony in the category of “do not judge a book by the cover”, thanks to jeremy for your new branding focused on ideas, innovation, creativy and passion.  hard to associate those guiding principle with bad behavior no matter what the packaging may look like   So Jeremy when are u going to start promoting the PC centric side of this industry vs. just the peripherals?  And content vs. form? 

Move over bad boys… hello Charmed Quark!

LOL who came up with this verification system anyway?

Jeremy, what does the Bush admin have to do with this case? Are you blinded by your mis placed hatred? Get some help!
