> Levandowski just filed for bankruptcy saying he has less than $100M in assets . Does anyone know if he will only pay a percentage or is only delaying this by kicking the can down the road to another court ?

If he has less than $100M in assets, then he will only pay a portion of the judgment. If he, his lawyer and his accountant were smart, he would have moved most of his assets into trust funds, iras and other judgment proof assets. Like Epstein did to protect his wealth from civil lawsuits of the rape victims.

> I would be highly surprised if his employer (Uber) shouldered any of the this

Uber fired him 3 years ago. If they were willing to shoulder the costs, they wouldn't have fired him.

Levandowski started a Church, around the time shit started to fall around him. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of his money is hiding there.
A church? If that isn't a crooked move, I don't know what is. Kind of fits the picture, so.
I saw the John Oliver show on televangelists. But TAHT is accepted as an official church? Really? Humans in support of AI working on a peaceful transition yo humans and machines ruling the world?

But hey, if it helps to hide away millions of dollar, I guess why not?

They may be stuck with costs and penalties anyway, depending on their contract. It really has nothing to do with his ongoing employment.
