He invoked the fifth. Uber could fire him, but I don't seriously expect them to be able to get more out of him than the court itself can. Would you rather lose your job or go to prison isn't a hard question to answer, after all.

- bradleyjg 10y agoIf this case goes very badly for Uber they may well decide to turn around and sue Levandowski. He may not have virtually unlimited money after that.

- vkou 10y agoIf Uber fires him, they run the risk of him throwing them under the bus, in exchange for legal leniency. That's a problem with criminal conspiracies - you either have to stand by your partners, or hold a threat worse then jail time over their heads. Easy for a mob boss, less easy for a unicorn.
- dullgiulio 10y agoThat's true. But at the same time, it seems to me, Uber lawyers are arguing that Uber is not responsible for Lewandowski's defence strategy even when that hurts Uber. If an employee works against his company, he is usually fired. Uber his looking bad either way here.
