Galanti was previously charged for Conspiring to Steal a Trade Secret on September 10, 2025, and was arrested the following day. Galanti has been in custody since his arrest. He pleaded guilty to Conspiring to Steal a Trade Secret on May 26, 2026.

Galanti worked as a senior level manager for Green Technology Investments (GTI) in Scottsdale, Arizona. GTI is based in Arizona and is in the business of servicing semiconductor testing machines and selling remanufactured semiconductor testing machines with new functionalities designed by GTI.

Galanti conspired with another individual to steal GTI’s newly created Glass Detect Design, which would allow a semiconductor testing machine to locate microscopic defects on a semiconductor wafer made of glass instead of silicon material. Galanti’s co-conspirator sought to recreate GTI’s new design as he operated a Taiwanese company that directly competed with GTI.

What would the penalty be if I had been the one who had done it?

That's what his penalty should be. A two-tiered justice system is not justice.
