The name of the case I chose is “Two sentenced in Coke trade secret case” This case occurred in
Atlanta, Georgia on 23rd of May in 2007. Two ex-coke employees by the name of Joya Williams age of 42,
Ibrahim Dimson age of 31 was sent to federal prison for a plot to offer rival Pepsi sample of new product. The two was arrested for fraud and unlawfully stealing and selling trade secrets from Coca-Cola
Co. This case shows a good example of corporate citizenship leading to a successful prosecution but which also lead to competitive advantage by stealing another’s trade secrets which lead these fellow employees to federal prison.
Ibrahim Dimson used a false name by the name of “Dirk” which he sent letter to Pepsi using an official Coca-Cola envelope.
