Is this the first time the names of engineers working at other companies and presumably being paid by Anthony to leak information have been disclosed? This seems pretty heavy.

> This sounds a lot like she was spying on him for trade secrets. Also, the BDSM gear is completely irrelevant to anything. Without access to the actual complaint, there's little basis for the first sentence and none for the second.
The complaint, "Wong v. Levandowski" is available online.
Well, it's available in the sense that all federal court filings are available at a fee through PACER; it's not linked in the article, nor available anywhere I can readily find other than PACER or pay sites that charge more than PACER for documents plus a monthly fee.
If you’d like to provide a link, that would actually contribute a lot to the discussion. Suggesting that it's out there somewhere does not.
Re: Anthony Levandowski Faces New Claims of Stealing
#34There are so many allegations of wrongdoing that have nothing to do with her main complaint (unpaid wages and mistreatment) that I wonder if this is a tactic to get him to settle quickly, in order to get her to shut up.
I think an issue is that she obviously was listening very closely for a very long time. There are a lot of very detailed conversations with names and specifics that go back awhile. A regular nanny probably wouldn't be listening to phone conversations and committing to memory the names and things said by your employer.
Particularly committing to memory the license plates of visitors.

If she was aware of his legal situation and he was the terrible employer she claims, it seems feasible to me.
Re: Anthony Levandowski Faces New Claims of Stealing
#36IANAL and all that - but a key issue here is that she was in the room when he was talking to his lawyer. If so, it might be harder for Levandowski to assert that the conversation was protected under attorney-client privilege. This could open the door to a much bigger can of worms. I’d expect Levandowski has every incentive to settle with her to keep her quiet. Smart nanny.

It's a little late to do that, keep the info she has already revealed secret, and prevent her from being subpoenaed in the other cases to which it might be relevant.

#37What happens when you ignore the hired "help". I'm willing to bet this Levandowski fellow didn't even see her standing in the room. Obviously, this is a tactic that Wong's lawyers (and her) are using to get Levandowski to settle quickly. If he settles I'd bet there will be a gag clause attached. There's a lesson here: if you involved in shading dealings, be discreet.
Shouldn't the lesson be, "Don't be involved in shady dealings"?

NO!
Lesson learned: Don't be a shady asshole.

The only reason to ever publicise stuff like that is to smear someone. Its low and it undermines any legitimate claim. I'm sure a defense would point out the vexacious nature of those publications.
It will never reach a courtroom. He will settle long before that. He has too much at stake for her to take the stand and be questioned.
Legal way to blackmail. Cool! But, alas, she can be subpoenaed which overrides any gag clause.

#40So she thinks she deserves around 1 million a month for him being not a good guy.
Good gig if you can get it.
