Pure speculation, but it sounds to me like he may have been working on some kind of undercover exposé on Apple. While I don't see any evidence of this, his actions would make more sense in that light. But if so, it is unclear why nobody at the Verge seems to be in the loop.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoMaybe he's been infiltrating the Verge secretly working for Apple, and now the mission's done and he's ready to transition to official employment with Apple, he doesn't care what happens to his career at the Verge? (conspiracy intensifies)
- s_kilk 10y agoOr, he was instructed to infiltrate Apple by Verge, and was found out. The Verge burned him, he dropped out of Apple, hence why he's supposedly not on the payroll at Apple. I don't believe this of course, but hey, tinfoil.
- pkaye 10y agoBut if he was known publicly before this then Apple would have easily found out.
- s_kilk 10y agoMaybe, but what if Apple believed he had left his job at Verge? There wouldn't be any real reason to not take that at face value. Anyway, this theory is getting too convoluted, hence almost certainly false :)
- FireBeyond 10y agoEh, in that case, I would assume/hope he had those instructions in writing, as The Verge's burn has surely put a huge dent in his employability, and very likely libelous.
- dahauns 10y agoNow there's a nutjob theory. The Verge doing investigative journalism?
- redial 10y agoOr maybe, he's been all along an agent of a third corporation that has yet to be revealed...
- LanceH 10y agoWhich is just what his true employer wants you to think.
