Precisely. Quoting myself from upthread >My gut tells me that at the time of his ouster, Alphabet was worried more about the optics of a protracted lawsuit with Rubin, rather than a cover-up for a harassment claim coming to light. Presumably the other individual in the harassment case settled and signed an NDA, which would preclude public discussion and disclosure. In 2014, that may have seemed like the "safe" bet. In 2018, it's coming back to bite Alphabet in the ass.
