i mean yes you're in a bit of a bind -- if it ever goes to litigation and all they have is evidence that you used Wickr or Signal disappearing messages and there's no record, they can just wave their arms and say it's suspicious

They've gotten at this before but part of Uber's story is that Waymo is slow, hesitant, stalled, brain-drained, and Levandowski et al left because they were sick of it
Afficher cette discussion -
Waymo v. Uber is an extraordinary case because Uber is basically the only company everyone hates enough to root for Google attempting to crush a smaller firm with a lawsuit
Afficher cette discussion -
Bigger Company Gets Complacent, Gets Ass Kicked, Files Lawsuit is an old familiar story and the only reason why it's not sticking as a narrative is because Uber is so ridiculous

Uber's story is the Michael Douglas speech in earnest, Waymo's story is the Michael Douglas speech as critique

Story is that Ron and Levandowski was playing the field with Lyft, Google, and Uber — everyone Levandowski, 1/23: I am super pumped about negotiating this deal on Monday with LP and JK LP = Larry Page JK = John Krafcik (Waymo CEO)

But keep in mind that Levandowski and Kalanick are like, texting love notes at each other this entire time

Waymo in redirect hammers home that there was no Lyft indemnification agreement. Uber in recross asks if they had ever gotten far enough in Lyft negotiations that indemnification would have come up. Ron says that they weren't that far along.

Afficher cette discussion -
hello mr friedberg im your #1 fan your due diligence report was one of the greatest of all time

Waymo asks if they can call them "Stroz" for short WAYMO: You don't mind being cut out of the name?
Afficher cette discussion -
Stroz due diligence investigation began approximately in third week of March

Morrison Foerster is representing Uber in this courtroom right now, and their name has just popped up in an email — because they reached out to Stroz to get the DD report done. Lawsuit is extremely self-referential.https://twitter.com/Ross_Todd/status/961328659800899584 …

The due diligence investigation was codenamed "Project Unicorn," the Google data they analyzed was codenamed "Aspen data"
Afficher cette discussion -
I think Friedberg just realized he shouldn't have so easily said that "Aspen data" refers to Google data — with no background into what the deal is with that. He just asked to clarify and Verhoeven said that he can clarify on cross-exam when it's Uber's turn.

Stroz did not complete their investigation by April 11 (when the Put Call agreement with Otto was signed)

April 2015, Morrison asked Stroz Friedberg to provide it with visibility into Stroz Friedberg’s preliminary investigation. Looking now at April 2 Memo, "Draft Summary of interview of Anthony Levandowski"
Afficher cette discussion -
Stroz conducted interviews with Levandowski on March 22 and March 23
Afficher cette discussion -
(All this stuff about the draft emails etc is about showing that Uber knew something was wrong before acquisition in August)
Afficher cette discussion -
Levandowski had "Google-related information" on his Macbook Pro, in his 1) Downloads folder 2) Dropbox folder 3) his Chauffeur folder
