Well maybe they could contact an attorney through an online chat system that does leak conversations and surprisingly posts those private conversations about shady things govt wants to their website front page. What a bummer. Some lawyer ne

If you work for somebody else, it's 0% yours, and that's it. While you can take pride on some of that, it's simply not yours. If you want it to be your don't sell it.
