> I struggle to think of anything at Google that anyone would want that’s not already on GitHub. It was this person's ploy to pretend there is extremely valuable IPs in the docs he illegally obtained. It just shows that this person indeed was clueless about large-scale engineering. I.e., stealing all of the code wont give any org the capability to do large-scale engineering. It most likely would cripple the org, as the foreign objects act as poison. The ideal trick is to pretend that he possess the secret.
