I ask myself would I have had the balls to do this, to stand up to the lawsuit, which I clearly couldn't afford? In my 20s maybe. Now probably not. It seems wrong that you can threaten whistle-blowers with stealing trade secrets. There really needs to be a solution to this problem. Obviously a company has a right to trade secrets but an employee thinking they faked results is hardly a trade secret. Maybe we need a special court to examine such things. Do the whistle blower statutes have any solution for this like extra penalties for trying to intimidate whistle blowers with lawsuits?
- cr0sh 10y agoI think there are laws covering intimidation/threats/etc of whistleblowers; I'm not sure what their status is, or whether they are federal only, and/or if states (etc on down the pyramid) have their own statutes... ...at least, that's what I understand currently - for all I know they've been so gutted to be completely useless.
- vkou 10y agoThere are plenty of laws that protect you, but using them to defend yourself can be incredibly expensive. It's never a good idea to piss off a vindictive person with money (Or a retired lawyer.)
- colmvp 10y agoYeah, I can't honestly say I'd let my parents sell their house just to finance my lawsuit. I really admire his and his parents conviction.
- crispyambulance 10y agoIt makes me wonder how the grandfather Schultz could REMAIN ON THE BOARD as all this happened and even invite Ms Holmes to attend his 95th birthday. That's a very sad thing for Tyler to have to get through. At 95, one can drop dead literally any minute. The fact that elder Schultz is not prioritizing family over the board makes me think the guy is mentally checked out.
