Mr. Levandowski left Google’s self-driving unit, Waymo, in 2016 and helped start a company soon acquired by Uber Technologies Inc. Google parent Alphabet Inc. sued Uber in 2017, claiming that Mr. Levandowski stole thousands of confidential files before leaving Google. Waymo and Uber settled the lawsuit in 2018, but a judge in the case asked federal prosecutors to investigate Uber and Mr. Levandowski over possible trade-secret theft.
The pardon was supported by venture capitalist Peter Thiel and entrepreneur Palmer Luckey, who founded Oculus VR, according to the White House.

I disagree with presidencials pardons...

Something something swamp or whatever
Only those in a position to come up with the cash.
