Casino executive must turn over phone

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — A forensic expertmust examine the personal phone of an Atlantic City casino executive accused of taking valuable data on the Borgata’s top customers to his new job at a competing casino, a federal judge has ruled.

In a decision issued Tuesday, U.S. District Court Judge Gloria Navarro said one of two former Borgata executives who left to take jobs with the Ocean Casino Resortmust turn over a personal phone to see if he had copied any customer data or trade secrets.

The judge already has ordered William Callahan to turn over his Borgata-issued phone; the latest ruling covers an additional phone.
