Curious to hear from those who have been following the details more closely: was there _any_ legal basis to Levandowski's claims?

It's easy to write him off as an extremely greedy sociopath, but I wonder if he was walking along some precarious line or "loop-hole" that eventually too many attempts to cross bit him in the butt.

My company was retained by Uber to assist in the investigation and discovery during the Waymo lawsuit. While the case settled, there’s a great deal of public information from court filings, depositions, and testimony. One deposition that’s worth reading is the one by Google’s security staff. They log everything and it’s basically open and shut that he downloaded version control repos at the time of his resignation (after not having logged into his corporate computer for months). His personal guilt has never been in much doubt.

No, there is no legal basis for using corporate resources for personal gain. It's not a gray area, it's a bright line.

No poaching agreements are a bit more of a grey area though
