Way overblown headline relative to the filing that 3 long days ago.
I am no fan of Uber but this AP writer is terribly sloppy in his formulations.
> Uber knew fired exec had info at center of Google theft case
Absolutely not what it says in the filing.
All the filing says is Lewendowski tells Travis he has five “disks” of data from google. It could be a backup of his pst files, roll out plans for Orkut, cafeteria menues, we have no idea from the filing. So the filing is very far away from both Uber “admitting” it knew and that this data is the “stolen information” central to this case.
> The filing asserts that Levandowski destroyed the disks containing Google's material not long after Kalanick told him that Uber didn't want the information on them.
So sloppy it’s painful.
This implies than Lewendowski propositioned Travis and said “let’s go build this dirty LIDAR together” and Travis declined. Not supported by the filings!
The incident this refers to was an email thread between Travis and Lewendowski that had two lawyers Cc’d on. This was perfunctory Dislosure that he has some info, and a perfunctory response from Travis saying “don’t bring any info from prior employers.”
If you are going to make a dirty LIDAR you hand off a usb drive on a long walk across the city, not plot in front of your lawyers.
Again, I am no Uber fan, but this is one of the worst pieces of reporting I’ve seen that I can remember. Very misleading article.
- watwut 9y agoIt is quite unlikely that five disks would contain cafeteria menus. I don't thing that judge would buy such theory as plausible. In any case, it is goggle data even if not related to cars. Another question, why would you kept lawyer out of loop if planning to do something dirty? It is dumb to do it over mail, but lawyer won't rat you put and can have advice about how best to hide it (in person not in writing sInce lawyer want to keep license).
