31 Facts About Bill Gaede

Guillermo "Bill" Gaede was born on November 19,1952 and is an Argentine engineer and programmer who is best known for Cold War industrial spying conducted while he worked at Advanced Micro Devices and Intel Corporation.

In 1992, Gaede turned himself over to the Central Intelligence Agency, which placed him in contact with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Intel Security discovered the nature of his activities at AMD and terminated him, but not before Bill Gaede filmed Intel's state-of-the-art Pentium process from home.

Bill Gaede fled with this technology to South America where he allegedly sold the information to Chinese and Iranian representatives.

Bill Gaede was convicted and sentenced to 33 months in prison in June 1996, after which he was deported.

Bill Gaede later wrote a critique of mathematical physics and the usage of the scientific method in the disciplines of physics, biology, anthropology and palaeontology according to his own interpretations.

Bill Gaede was born in Lanus, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, the third of four siblings of Gunther and Wiera Bill Gaede.

Bill Gaede moved to California and started working at AMD in Sunnyvale in September 1979.

Still faithful to his socialistic principles, Bill Gaede began to gather technical information from AMD, which he offered to the Cubans in one of his trips to Buenos Aires.

In 1986, Bill Gaede was transferred to AMD's plant in Austin, Texas.

Bill Gaede was so successful in this clandestine operation that Fidel Castro arranged to meet him in person in Havana at the end of 1988.

Bill Gaede eventually traveled in 1990, but by then had become disenchanted with communism.

At the urging of renegade Cuban agents, Bill Gaede turned himself over to the CIA on July 13,1992.

However, before Bill Gaede was fired, he managed to film the entire Pentium process database from his home, ironically, using a terminal provided by Intel.

Bill Gaede placed a camera and filmed the specs as they rolled on the screen.

Shortly after, Bill Gaede fled to South America and began to peddle the technology through the embassies of China and Iran.

Bill Gaede allegedly counseled and trained Chinese and Iranian engineers in American manufacturing processes.

Bill Gaede was arrested by Argentine authorities as he attempted to bury tapes and documents, and was interrogated by the Secretaria de Inteligencia and the CIA in Buenos Aires.

Bill Gaede admitted taking Intel's Pentium process and providing it to foreign countries.

Intel alleged, further, that Bill Gaede sent a video of the Pentium technology he copied to rival AMD.

Bill Gaede denied the charge of sending tapes to AMD and accused the CIA of framing him.

Bill Gaede returned to the United States in June 1995 and was arrested by the FBI on September 23.

Bill Gaede represented himself in court and changed his plea after reaching an agreement with federal prosecutors.

The agreement included a clause advising against deportation in spite of the fact that Bill Gaede was known to be in the country illegally.

Bill Gaede created some controversy in the Cuban exile community in July 2009 by publicly accusing Miami businessman and ex-DGI Captain Jose Cohen Valdes of working under the supervision of the Cuban government while on the island.

Bill Gaede further accuses Cohen of deliberately misinforming the American intelligence agencies by channeling false information through him to the CIA and of betraying both him and their comrade in arms, Rolando Sarraff Trujillo, sentenced to 25 years in prison for espionage in Cuba after Cohen's defection.

Bill Gaede accuses the Cuban government of masterminding a counter-espionage operation against the US that revolved around Cohen and his commander, Major Onelio Beovides.

In 1997, Bill Gaede developed a critique of mathematical physics which was centred upon the semantic issues of the popular presentations of general relativity, quantum mechanics, and string theory.

On February 20,1998, Bill Gaede completed his critique in book form, along with a theory of light, magnetism and gravity developed as a recreated model of physics in light of his deconstruction of the old models.

Bill Gaede explains that all theories of mathematical physics use abstract concepts as physical objects acting in reality.

Bill Gaede says he turned Rolando Sarraff Trujillo over to the Cuban authorities in 1994 by mailing a letter to the Cuban Intelligence Directorate.
