Don't know if Sam had to sign the same thing, but it's likely. I used to work at CV, and you had to sign a non-disclosure agreement that stated you wouldn’t company secrets once you left.

I don’t like anonymous notes, and/or personal attacks. But here is the gist of the comment: “Sure Sebastian could out every classified initiative at CV, but the details aren’t that hard to divine….Uh, aggregate newspaper classifieds and leverage national online brands.” Can CV’s classified initiatives really be so easily summed up? Is the danger of Sebastian’s spilling the CV “playbook” to Google as relatively unimportant as Johnny Damon spilling last season’s Red Sox playbook to the Yankees?

I got a few like this! "Sam Sebastian could spill all of the details of all of the classified initiatives of all of the CV papers in about 3.8 seconds, including time for taking a deep breath at the start. Google gained a talented guy who was much too good for CV." Here’s a comment from a reader who didn’t want to be identified. I got a few like this!
