G'day all, Arnie, you queried, "Is Pairgain liable for damages due to the action of their employee?"
I am not a legal pro, but I doubt it, so long as the alleged [he is innocent until proven guilty, of course] perpetuator acted on his own, without company's prompting or even knowledge.
Any type of digital fingerprint aside, if there is a financial paper trail, then he is dead meat. Some of you may still recall the engineer from Octel Comm [now part of LU] who sell big time PUTs only days before the company's announcement of software delay. Probably that guy is still in the slammer! Well, hope springs eternal, maybe there's happy ending to this too <wink>
