Lakshman Laskar, Georgia Tech Professor, Charged With Stealing Microchips
This is the second case filed by prosecutors against a Georgia Tech professor, Lakshman Laskar, for stealing funds and resources. In addition, the charges against Laskar also claim that he used his position at Georgia Tech to gain access to illegally-made microchips. The charges are serious enough to warrant his arrest. However, his defense attorneys are hopeful that he will be found not guilty. If he is, he will have to face the consequences of his actions.
Hurd's report was presented to the Associate Vice Chancellor of Georgia Tech, who notified the Attorney General of Georgia. The Attorney General of Georgia's office then began its own investigation of Laskar. On November 8, a special agent of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation filed an affidavit with two state judges, requesting that Laskar's property and records be seized. The special agent stated that the audit report provided the basis for the search warrants, and that Hurd and his team knew that he had never sold or used microchips.
The investigation was conducted by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI). Its special agent submitted an affidavit to two state judges requesting search warrants and seizure of Laskar's property. The affidavit stated that the information the investigators obtained came from the alleged malicious prosecution. The affidavit also explained that Laskar failed to allege injury or malicious prosecution. As a result, the court found the evidence of sexual misconduct sufficient to halt Laskar's employment.
The lawsuit against Laskar138 was dismissed after Hurd provided his report to the Associate Vice Chancellor of Georgia Tech. The AG's office then notified the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation began its own investigation. The affidavit stated that a special agent of the GBI had submitted an affidavit to two state judges, asking for search warrants and seizure orders against Laskar. The affidavit stated the investigation had relied on Hurd's audit for information needed for the warrants.
As a former graduate student, Laskar had worked as an electrical engineer at Georgia Tech. He had also served as the director of the Georgia Electronic Design Center, which was a research entity affiliated with the university. The GBI established partnerships with technology companies and worked with them to develop and market cutting-edge products. After his death, he founded a wireless company, Sayana Wireless LLC. This company became a paying member of the Center and was entitled to utilize Georgia Tech's facilities.
In response to the charges, the GBI was able to find evidence of Laskar's participation in the sportbook. During this trial, the GBI seized documents from the athletics department and confiscated his computer, as well as records from his private communications. Throughout the entire process, the GBI conducted a series of interviews with people involved in the case and collected data on Laskar's activities. The investigation was a complicated one, and the GBI did not spare any stone unturned.
