How effective is an NDA in this case? A lot of NDA's are effective because BIGCO you signed the NDA with has piles of money & resources to sue you. If a developer is ghostcoding for ROCKSTAR and it gets out ROCKSTAR hires ghostcoders. ROCKSTAR is screwed and maybe he was making pretty comfortable money at BIGCO but his pockets are exponentially smaller than BIGCO's. And he doesn't have a legal department to handle the lawsuit either. He'll have to handle it himself, while he's being dragged & disgraced in tech news and on Twitter. And even if the NDA is with you the agency, do you have a legal team? If you do is your agency big enough or is it worth business enough for you to get into a big fight with one of your former contractors to defend ROCKSTAR? Especially when ROCKSTAR is the one who looks bad to the public and not necessarily your agency? I'm not saying you're not telling the truth, it sounds plausible but I wonder about the model.
