Comment on Apple accuses former Apple Watch staffer of conspiring to steal trade secrets for Oppo

He now heads up a team working on sensing technology at Oppo — which Apple says it learned because of “messages he left on his Apple-issued work iPhone.” In his resignation letter to Apple, Shi said he was leaving “due to personal and family reasons.” Via that iPhone, Apple also says it found messages from Oppo demonstrating that it “encouraged, approved, and agreed to Dr. Shi’s plan to collect Apple’s proprietary information before leaving Apple.”

Why would either of these companies hire someone this stupid in a pivotal role?

They don’t. Anybody that does this is marked for life by every side - Apple as well as Oppo, as an unreliable, non-trustworthy personality. If Oppo promised him some position in their company it will be provided as a dunce seat just long enough for other potential IP thieves to think “Hey, this guy seems to have it figured out, I should steal secrets for Oppo!”, and after that reasonabke time period he’ll be buried in some godforsaken back room until he quits.

Traitors are marked wherever they go.
