>Shortly before Zhang's theft was discovered, Apple sent out a lengthy cautionary memo to employees warning them against leaking data to the media. In the letter, Apple said that in 2017, it caught 29 leakers, with 12 of those individuals being arrested and charged.
being an Apple employee seems to come with statistically high risk of being arrested and charged :) And autonomous car projects across the industry remind the Klondike.
It strikes me that people concerned with the risk of being charged for committing a crime like this are probably exactly who Apple is trying to deter with this messaging.
For all other employees, it serves as a reminder that this stuff actually happens, to be on the lookout for it, and that Apple will protect the hard work they've done with their full legal might should someone try to do something like this.
