Oh noes. Tesla accused former programmers/engineers of stealing source code or trade secrets and allegedly using or taking them to competitors (or rivals).

Tell me it isn't so? This can't be?;-)

As an aside, Elon knows how to silo workers and operations.

When I started work, removable disks were the size of wedding cakes.

I have all their data here!

It appears to be encrypted. They apparently have site specific encryption scheme. No yuan for you.

The development computer system is not online. Please use the general computer system if you need to interact with the outside world.

Great idea, let’s hire a bunch of Chinese spies. What could possibly go wrong?

Before I even read one word of this story, I immediately knew who: a Chinaman.

I would never trust a Chinaman with intellectual property. Hire one of them, and on his first day before quitting time, the information will be in Peking.

“Chinese competitors” ...

By now every CEO needs to accept the loss of IP to theft as the cost for using H-1B labor.

Are these former programmers all Chinese? It looks like we have found the problem.
