Ex-Uber executive Anthony Levandowski is being forced to file for bankruptcy protection after being ordered to pay Google $271 million.
Global tech giant Google sued Uber back in 2017, alleging the ride-share company conspired with Levandowski to steal trade secrets from Google's autonomous driving unit, called Waymo.
As well as filing for bankruptcy, the software engineer is now also facing criminal charges for allegedly possessing the trade secrets belonging to Google.
