I'm sure Levandowski would gladly lie under that bus in order to keep his proceeds from the sale. If he tried to get revenge those proceeds might very well be in jeopardy.

I'm thinking being terminated with cause will have a negative effect on the Otto transaction. Did they just hand him $680M on day one? I think deals like this are structured with progress payments, milestones and maybe incentives for hitting milestones early.

I dont think it matters if Uber failed to do proper due diligence, once the paperwork is signed it's pretty much a done deal.

Fraud tends to be able to be pursued civilly. (And if he sold Uber a bunch of IP that he didn't own, then that's textbook fraud)
