> Look at Anthony Levandowski as a high-profile example of someone who stole trade secrets in California and got nailed. I'm reading his Wikipedia page: > While working at Google, Levandowski established other companies as side projects,[17] including 510 Systems and Anthony's Robots, which were later bought by Google.[18] tl;dr: he certainly has some balls! Any idea why he even left Google? It sounds like they paid him a total comp of some 120 mil, and he worked there for just 9 years, that's an average of 13 mil a year, not small change by any measure (although I guess that might include the price they've paid for the companies he founded). I guess he wanted them to keep buying his new companies again and again?
