Yup. I don't know of any U.S. state where this wouldn't be considered a proprietary and confidential information violation given the usual slate of NDA clauses.

Unless the individual is already actively seeking whistle-blower protections (and they better be extremely highly financially incriminating) there's no legal support here.

I'm willing to get behind many "wild" start-up ideas, but this business model is dead-on-delivery in the U.S.
