alt Hacker News> If you worked at Google for 12 years, it seems pretty irrational to commit this kind of crime for only $1M.
Kinda? It's not like people making an order of magnitude less don't get busted for crimes where they're stealing an order of magnitude less.
I think the point the grandparent comment is trying to make is that at a staff level, and having been at google for 12 years, he was likely being paid pretty well, and that he could've made that same money longer term just by continuing to work at google
