Oh I think we read different articles. This is about deception that company used to sell themselves as better places to work than they actually are. Knowingly missrepresenting the working condition is exactly that: immoral. INAL but is see no way this would damage his legal leverage... actually the opposite.

> INAL but is see no way this would damage his legal leverage... actually the opposite. IANAL either, but I imagine posting this gives an opening for Atlassian to sue for slander and ruin the author by taking forever to debate minutiae of every sentence in the article - whereas if the author went after Atlassian directly, the case would be only about what the company did or did not do to them personally.

  “I’m not f---ing around with this, and I’m not continuing to play games,” Avenatti told Nike reps, according to court papers. “You guys know enough now to know you’ve got a serious problem. And it’s worth more in exposure to me to just blow the lid on this thing. A few million dollars doesn’t move the needle for me.” https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/michael-avenatti-guilty-all-counts-nike-extortion-case-n1137106 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/michael-avenatti-guilty...

    > Avenatti was arrested in March, about 15 minutes after tweeting that he had scheduled a press conference to “disclose a major high school/college basketball scandal perpetrated by @Nike.” That's one quick police response. Regardless of the merits of the case, I'm scared of the headline itself.

      They don't work that fast. It is more likely he found out they were on the way to arrest him and announced that as a way to get ahead of the news.
