As a full time employee of "Company A" employee solicited potential customers of "Company A" and sold a competing product from the new "Company B"
The client was was not immediately made aware of the newly formed "Company B" and may have believed they were still purchasing a product from "Company A"

I don't know about criminal but their might be civil violations such as breach of contract, breach of confidentiality, copyright, etc. Talk with a business lawyer, not a criminal lawyer.
