> Our forensic examination of Levandowski's devices and accounts corroborates his assertion that he stored and accessed Google files on his personal laptop in folders labeled Chauffeur and Google. However, contrary to his belief that there were no or few Google e-mails on his laptop, Stroz discovered approximately 50,000 Google work e-mail messages that were downloaded onto Levandowski's computer on September 20, 2014. Ten of those e-mails were last accessed between September 1, 2015 and January 28, 2016. It is difficult to believe that Levandowski was not, prior to his interview, fully aware of the extent of the data that he had retained.
50K Project Chauffeur emails stored on his personal laptop. People have gone to jail for less.
> Levandowski also attempted to empty the Trash bin on
his MacBook Pro while he was at Stroz Friedberg's office on March 22, 2016 at approximately 12:12 p.m., but our examination found no files were contained in his Trash at the time he attempted to empty it.
What kind of company does business with a shady character like this?

So, IMO, Uber wanted the stolen tech and the only person that gave them to them was ...drum roll. They would have bought them even from KGB. So, if you want stolen tech, you'll have to deal with a thief and then some.
- kayoone 9y agoLevandowski had done a lot of valuable stuff for google before, so they kind of gave him free reign even though he was known for not being easy to deal with.
- waqf 9y agoFree rein*. The analogy is to horses, not to kingdoms, although I have heard that the one can be exchanged for the other.
- kayoone 9y agosorry and thanks for correcting, not a native speaker.
- andrewflnr 9y agoI've seen native speakers do worse. :) That one is especially tricky because the meanings of the two words are actually kind of related, to the extent that "free reign" makes a kind of sense with nearly the same meaning, despite not being the original idiom.
- s_dev 9y agoHow do you attempt to empty an empty Trash bin? On my Mac the option is greyed out. Perhaps he ran a command or delegated a utility to do it for him.
- mcguire 9y ago"What kind of company does business with a shady character like this?" Do you want your self driving cars or not?
- skrebbel 9y agoThis ridiculous idea that only a super select few psycho geniuses can do decent AI really has to stop. Do you really believe that? Why do people keep repeating that this guy had irreplaceable skills? It becomes something of a self-fulfilling prophecy.
- mcguire 9y agoNo, I don't, actually. But the people giving out the money seem to. And, yes, that makes it a self fulfilling prophecy.
