Civilian Who Leaked Corvette SS/Blue Devil Images is ARRESTED or is He?
TheGMSource - The gentleman that supplied the world with photo's of the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette SS has been allegedly fired from his job from the shipping company that employed him, and has been carted off to jail!

Auto Blog Editor John Neff has broke the story and has learned from several unnamed sources that the gentleman, once an employee of a shipping company contracted by General Motors was fired today, and subsequently placed in police custody. We are working to confirm this, so please be aware that as of now, it is being speculated that he is in police custody.

I can tell you, that in a brief exchange last night with the accused, he never had any idea the situation would go this far, or reach the magnitude that it has. However, our last exchange with the accused said this.

The below response is a message that was sent to myself after members suggested the photo's could have been sold for cash:

"I'm not really in this for money either, I'm just an honest car guy who happened to have my camera and saw a Z06"


It's unclear of what charges may be levied against the employee.

We are working our phone lines as we speak, to stay tuned as we hope to have an update shortly.

Update

TheGMSource has contacted both the shipping company the accused employer work(ed) at, as well as the Romulus Police Department and neither party has any comment regarding what may have transpired today.

My Comment:
I'm not really sure if this is arrested as some sources say the civilian wasn't arrested and some say he was. But, we'll find out soon.

Let me get this straight. This guy works for a shipping company...where the Z06 shows up uncovered...prompting him to take pictures with his own camera....then posting them on a forum....causing a furor among GM...resulting in his dismissal and possible arrest. The only way this scenario makes sense is if the transportation company had signed a non-disclosure agreement to which this guy would be a party by virtue of his employment. Short of that its ridiculous.

In cases like this a Non-Disclosure agreement is standard practice. At the very least this employee was let go for violating that policy

I also want to add, had these photos been taken on public property he would have been okay. But because it appears that he took the pictures on company property, he violated his company's disclosure policy.

Agreed Soho, I'm still wondering what they can even think of charging him with.

Depends on what he agreed to when he joined the company. The company itself would be more liable than he would if he didn't sign any terms of employment. The company is liable anyway. It signed any NDA required for the business.

He deserves to be arrested and the company deserves to be sued. Every car company has to work hard to stay ahead of the competition, so they have to be able to trust their suppliers and carriers. The pictures he took were so blatant and detailed that the Corvette competition is probably drooling over them now. It is one thing to grab a picture of a prototype driving by on a street, its a problem when you show the model completly unmasked. To his defense, he probably did not realize what he was getting himself into, but the damage is done.
