Based on the article, it sounds like a bit of a "he said - she said" article after Gibson was terminated at Trenchant/L3Harris.

To clarify with the final paragraphs of context, “He said, Corp said, 3 of 3 coworkers asked corroborated what He said”.

I'm not entirely sure how that applies to my post.

What I mean is:

1. Most of us in this segment of the industry recognize the risks

2. He is absolutely not the first person targeted by this

3. This article sounds like it's part of a wrongful termination suit by Gibson based on the context provided

Is there a lawsuit?

Not sure, but the phrasing around this article and the entire second half of it definitely sounds like similar articles I've seen during these kinds of suits.
