Another explosive revelation about Uber has just made headlines and it might just be the most damaging to the company yet. A letter by a former security staff member at the ride-hailing firm is accusing the company of employing disturbingly shady tactics. These include fraud, theft, espionage, bribery, and hacking.
There is a lot to unpack with this bombshell of a revelation, which came via a 37-page letter from Richard Jacobs, who was part of Uber’s Strategic Services Group (SSG) until April of this year. Aside from the accusations of the many questionable and unethical activities committed by the company, Jacobs is also seeking compensation for being fired.
The letter was actually presented to the court last month but it was only recently that it was released to the public. Although heavily redacted, the details that are clearly visible in the letter constitute serious allegations that could effectively cripple Uber.
The delay of the trial date between Waymo and Uber was caused by the surfacing of the letter, as well, which has made an already complicated case infinitely more complex. Now, the letter is being used as evidence by the U.S. Department of Justice, which is currently conducting a criminal investigation into Uber, Inc.com reports.
Uber’s legal team was actually provided the letter already and in a statement on Friday, the company noted that it was looking into the claims made by Jacobs in the letter. The company promised that it would turn over any evidence it comes across in an effort to paint itself as a more honest firm going forward.
As to whether or not it’s going to have a future is an actual question, at this point, since its dubious practices, while it was growing up as a company, is now catching up to Uber. Entire governments have been toppled by revelations of stealing information, bugging hotel rooms, sending spies to certain groups, and illegally hacking computers, and the company is being accused of all these crimes.
