Yep. Nobody should ever hire Bill Demirkapi because he leaks confidential company information.

I definitely believe in second chances and fortunately Bill deleted this tweet. If you're a hiring manager, how much of a risk would you take? How much better would he need to be than the average candidate?

I’ll probably hire him just because of the tweet - it shows to me that he cares about doing the right thing and not just bottom line

  Let’s see you do it, he’s available and actively looking [1]. And make sure you let the rest of the company and your prospective clients know you’re hiring this guy specifically for his track record of leaking privileged information. Leaking information that “needs to be public” is one thing. Doing it under your own name is sheer stupidity and reflects the worst possible judgment.

    We all have made mistakes, especially in the younger years. It does not mean we are not able to learn and grow from it.

    Should I disclose everyone I hire to the rest of the company and prospective clients? Maybe hire a PI to make sure everyone I hire is of a good character for my prospective clients? I don’t want to develop that kind of culture in the place I work

  > I’ll probably hire him just because of the tweet - it shows to me that he cares about doing the right thing and not just bottom line How do you expect your business partners (companies that you have NDAs with) to react to your hiring of him?

    Don’t be a scummy business and you have nothing to worry about. Plus he didn’t break the NDA as he found the docs outside the relationship- so all good.

I don't like to drag personal information in, but along this tangent it's critically important to note that he is still in college. There's every reason to believe that he made an honest mistake, and will hopefully be more responsible in the future now that he understands why "I've obtained a snippet from the internal investigation report" is so much more problematic than "I've obtained screenshots from LAPSUS".

  You're right about his age. That is very important, I'm wondering if the HN can be locked or not visible so it won't show up in future searches. I'm grateful that the internet and smart phones weren't as prevalent when I was making my youthful mistakes.
