NEWS Storage giant EMC is involved in a full-blown courtroom battle with one of its former executives over allegations of spying and forgery. EMC's lawyers are accusing former employee Kenneth Todd Gresham of taking strategic company secrets with him when he joined small storage start-up Eurologic Systems earlier this year. According to US wires, EMC also claims that Gresham lied in his job application, saying his claims of a college education are false. Gresham's lawyers are denying the accusations. Gresham claimed in his defence that suspicious events took place at Gresham's home this summer, such as break-ins and hoax telephone calls warning his house was bugged. The case continues.
