The Israeli resident of Scottsdale was identified as Guy Galanti, 48, who was charged with conspiring to steal a trade secret on September 10, 2025. Authorities arrested Galanti on September 11, and he has been in custody since, the Justice Department noted.

He worked as a senior-level manager for Scottsdale-based Green Technology Investments (GTI).

The company services semiconductor testing machines and sells remanufactured machines with new GTI-designed functionalities added, the Justice Department said.

His co-conspirator “sought to recreate GTI’s new design as he operated a Taiwanese company that directly competed with GTI,” it added.
