  Interesting! So is he really working for Apple? Would a contractor show up under that same directory in case he's working 1099 or something? I originally saw this story and figured "conflict of interest, lack of judgement but who cares" but now I'm curious how The Verge verified his employment with them and if he really does work there.

    I assume they called the HR contact. That's how it's generally done for background checks, etc.

  one thought floating around that he got a major scoop on the apple car (He was verge's car editor) and Apple are paying him to keep silent, he may not have any actual role at Apple but is on the payroll, not sure what the verge was told
