#2If Uber shows he knew he gave them stolen trade secrets, doesn't it also follow he would have only agreed to sell Otto to them if the agreement showed he was indemnified against specifically that?

"I am indemnified against violating trade secret law" isn't generally the kind of thing that finds its way into a contract.

#5Much more interesting to me is that the article says "he will not need to report until threat of COVID-19 pandemic has passed." and "With no end to the COVID-19 pandemic in sight, it is possible that Levandowski’s latest lawsuit will be resolved before he even reports to jail."

#6More than the 18 month prison sentence, it would have been far better to punish him with life-long red mark on his career to never be able to found, or run a company and never be able to buy stock or any kind of a position in any company.
Seems like 18 months will be spent plotting his next big thing and it’s rinse and repeat.
Also put an upper limit to his wealth. Say total : $40K. And cancel his passport.

Quite a few. Levandowski is in California, where they're making a pretty big effort to get nonviolent criminals out of the prison system.
