If he thought it was close to roll-out and worth billions, he's more a lucky manager than an actual engineer. Which makes his criminality far more understandable.

I have no love for the guy, but by all accounts he invented a lot of the core tech he stole.

Much of the vision may have been his, but what he is accused of stealing is the work of 100s (1000s?) of engineers who worked to make those ideas a reality.

I just checked my 100 person orgs code base and we have 5000 files so him stealing 14000 files was almost certainly written by hundreds of engineers.
