An Amazon.com Inc. employee reported receiving a “veiled threat” from a defendant accused of involvement in an international bribery scheme targeting the online retailer, according to court records.
Jason Noggle, whose LinkedIn profile says he’s head of special projects and investigations at Amazon, said he received an email from Ephraim Rosenberg, a prominent e-commerce consultant based in Brooklyn, New York, and a defendant in the case. Noggle said Rosenberg expressed concern about Noggle’s safety in the email. Under the terms of his pre-trial release, Rosenberg is barred from contacting any defendants or potential witnesses in the case.
