A very democrat thing to do?

I honestly don't know why rock star engineers like this guy work for Google, Facebook etc. They could partner with business types and get massive VC funding and equity and not have to deal with working for the man.

HOW WHEN DESIREE PEREZ ONLY GOT 9 MONTHS AFTER HAVING PROBATION REVOKED FOR BEING A FUGITIVE AND ALREADY CONVICTED FELON? LAME ASS DISTRACTION FUCK CNN!!!

He definately has a 'hey baby' look on his face.

Shame

The US District Attorney's office had recommended 27 month sentence , arguing in court that Leavendowski committed the crime for ego or greed and that he remained a wealthy man.

nicoleperlroth He knows

Is it true he has ties to the Clinton Foundation?🤔

Levandowski had sought a fine , 12 months of home confinement and 200 hours of community service.

During court proceedings , Levandowski agreed to pay $7,56,499.22 in restitution to Waymo and a fine of $95,000.

If he was from China it would be a demonstration of the inherent corruption of the communist system and the long reaching interference of the CCP. From the west, he is just a naughty boy.

Maverick self driving car engineer need not report until threat of COVID -19 pandemic has passed.
