A former Intel executive pleaded guilty on Monday to criminal charges alleging that he passed sensitive information about his company to Galleon Group founder Raj Rajaratnam and profited from Galleon’s trading on his tips. The employee, Rajiv Goel, 51, worked for Intel’s treasury group and assisted Intel Capital, its investment arm, in strategic investment decisions. According to court papers, Goel – a Wharton classmate of Rajaratnam’s – gave Galleon inside information from 2007 to 2009.
