Re: thief
And Tesla's security is not inept, they caught the guy spot on.
Sure, they caught the guy. But files slurped from Tesla into Dropbox, and from there, who knows? So if this was industrial espionage rather than a dumb criminal, files could/would have been copied from Dropbox to other repositories or recipients.
The complaint seems to make out the files were a reasonable chunk of Tesla's 'crown jewels' IP, but their systems or procedures didn't seem to prevent a new hire making a copy.
