Reselling such thing is a situation that can't hardly end up well for any parties. Even when the algorithms are worth millions. I'd be surprised a buyer would be willing to invest in it, study it and then turn it into a profitable thing, even if it's sold really cheap or given away. In which case a clever seller would never undertake the risks involved to steal it and put it in the market. In short, there's no way for this to turn out right (getting away with money), but it can go wrong in many ways (like getting caught). This employee made a terrible gamble.
