Intel sues Oregon engineer who left for Microsoft, allegedly taking trade secrets with him

Intel sued a former Oregon employee Friday, alleging he took trade secrets with him when he bolted for Microsoft and used the information to gain an advantage in subsequent business negotiations with Intel.

The engineer, Varun Gupta, worked for Intel for a decade before leaving for Microsoft in January 2020, according to the suit. He allegedly loaded Intel trade secrets onto two USB drives before quitting and later accessed them on his Microsoft-issued laptop.

[...] [The] litigation indicates Intel and Microsoft worked together to investigate the incident.

Intel's complaint claims that Gupta had denied knowing where the one of the USB drives was, but later turned it over to Microsoft for analysis. He claimed to have discarded a second USB drive that allegedly contained Intel secrets, according to the litigation.

    But a Runaway would. From the lowest caste, the shit-posters, just below the shit-shovelers and cleaners of latrine. But, it turns out, since they are the lowest caste, they are the only one who could vote for Trump without becoming unclean from the act.
