The maximum penalty is 250k per count or twice the gross gain/loss, whichever is greater. So the financial penalty could be quite significant.

- tyingq 7y agoWouldn't a conviction open him up to a more costly civil suit? Harder to defend a civil suit if you're guilty in a related criminal charge.

It might be that the reason why they didn't pursue him in civil court was to leave the way open for the criminal procedure to blaze the trail. That would be sick, if so.
- ksherlock 7y agoI got the impression that Google couldn't sue him, per se, because their employee arbitration requirements were working against them in this case.
- sangnoir 7y agoI doubt he's open to civil suit - at least from Google: both parties are bound by an arbitration agreement that preceded the Uber debacle.
