How come Levandowski isn't sued for stealing data? Doesn't what he did to Google considered stealing? I would have called for police investigation for someone so prominent stealing my company's data.
- AnimalMuppet 9y agoWell, the judge requested federal prosecutors to take a look.
- vilhelm_s 9y agoThis was mentioned in the HN discussion[1] about the other order, which denied enforcing arbitration. There are two separate lawsuits, one against Uber (this one), and one against Levandowski. Because of his employment agreement, the Levandowski suit is done through arbitration rather than a court. Uber moved to consolidate the two suits and force the combined suit into arbitration, but the court denied the motion. Also, the court also referred the case to the U.S. Attorney for a possible criminal investigation, so depending on what they decide Levandowski could come under criminal charges also. (He is already taking the 5th.) [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14321044 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14321044
- yeukhon 9y agoThanks, I didn't read that properly. Hopefully truth will come out of criminal investigation.
- i_like_lamp 9y agoCheck out the forensic expert's testimony for yourself. It's hardly conclusive that he took the files in question. Interpretations of the testimony are very speculative.
