You haven't heard the allegations that Uber approached Levandowski while still at Google to start Otto so Uber could buy them later?

I'm still not sure how that would involve uber in selling secrets; still sounds like buying to me.

One implies the other, so in this unholy pedantic discussion, a winning move is to point out that being involved in selling is the same as being involved in buying.

Another tact: Otto is accused of being involved in selling secrets. Uber bought Otto. Otto is now Uber. Therefore, Uber is accused of being involved in selling secrets.
