The guy who stole the wind turbine software and gave it to a Chinese competitor was promised a 5-year $200k/year employment deal. Although, it sounds like he may not have gotten it in the end. (Maybe there was a clause about getting caught.)

I suppose the guy was outraged by the poor ethics of the Chinese competitor when he didn't get the job.

5 years @ $200K a year? This guy could use some negotiation advice from Anthony Levandowski.

The guy was an idiot. No Chinese company would stick to such a deal. Promise the world, deliver nothing.
