A North Carolina baker, Mazen Fathi Said, was sent to prison for two
years after a conviction for stealing two books containing bread and
roll recipes from a rival baking company.

It was alleged that the recipes stolen from the Morabito Baking Co.
were trade secrets with a value worth $30 million. Morabito
distributes its baked goods in 28 states and is a far bigger operation
than Said's bakery

Said, an Israeli national, has been a legal resident of the U.S. for
more than 10 years, He maintained that the charges were the result of
a conspiracy against him as a successful foreigner in the wake of
9/11.
