You may not hear anything right away, but someone who works for (or was outsourced by) Otonomo is currently having a Very Bad Day.

  Otonomo management will have an even worse day when they realize that they are not indemnified just because someone works for them. They will likely have to kiss a substantial portion of that money goodbye as compensation in whatever settlement will be reached. Their lawyers will not be able to win this one from what I've read and seen so far so the best they will be able to achieve is to settle before it gets to court, fighting this will only make it much more expensive. OP should figure out if the public stuff is all that was ripped or if it went further, it would not be the first time that an ex employee made off with a copy of the company crown jewels.

    It would be (morbidly? Sadochistically? I lack the term) interesting to watch how many people jump ship in a situation like this.

      Once upon a time a group called 'CitizenX' copied the Camarades.com website and software and gave us the proverbial finger because 'they were in the US and we were in Europe and what were we going to do about it?'. Turns out not everybody working there agreed with the tactic and the day they raised money I got a very nicely worded anonymous email with the name of the investor. The ink on the press release was still wet when I mailed the VC for their legal contact because we were still well within the statue of limitations and now they could actually pay up. The only message I got back was 'we will not be investing'.

        That is truly poetic.
