Nauti's Take
Widening the circle of accused shows how seriously Apple treats its internal controls, and gives other companies an opportunity to review their own offboarding routines. The risk sits in the evidence, because so far these are allegations rather than proof and a court filing is one sided by design.
Anyone poaching AI talent or switching employers should take documentation and data hygiene very seriously now.
