So, those early comments by TADE (and no, I'm still not going to feed his ego by naming him on this blog) that he was examining all his legal options? You can ignore them. He is, 100% for certain, not suing Google or anybody else.
The first thing that any competent lawyer will tell you, once they agree to represent you on any matter, is to stop talking; your lawyers do all the necessary talking for you. This is partly because they get to bill you hundreds of dollars for every hour in which they do any work at all on your case, including media appearances, but it's also because judges, one of whom will preside over your lawsuit, tend to take a dim view of attempts by a complainant to try their case in the court of public opinion, rather than trying their case in, you know, an actual courtroom.
The fact that TADE still talking publicly (to the Wall Street Journal, on Reddit, and presumably to anyone else who'll listen, while he's still infamous enough make for an effective clickbait headline) is all the evidence you need that he has not yet secured legal representation. Which means either (a) that his talk of doing so was just talk, because he lacks the necessary resources to retain a lawyer, or (b) he tried to hire a lawyer, only to be turned away because his case is not winnable.
So, what's TADE trying to accomplish, with his "charm" offensive? I have no idea. I can't imagine he's making himself look any more attractive to future potential employers, though, almost all of whom would also have fired him for the level of insubordination that he displayed towards his last employer, and none of whom will be wanting to take someone onboard who's simultaneously unwilling to adhere to company policies, and highly likely to try to burn the place down behind him, when he leaves.
Oh, and Julian Assange's noises about offering him a job at Wikileaks? You can ignore that, too.
For one thing, Julian Assange has been holed up in Ecuador's London embassy for years, now, and can't be much involved with Wikileaks' day-to-day from such an awkward location. And I'm guessing that Assange didn't actually run that "job offer" past the people at Wikileaks who are actually running the place in his absence, i.e. the people who do their actual hiring. Which brings us to the second thing: Wikileaks' HR people have no reason to want someone as toxic as TADE in their ranks, and probably little to no intention of actually hiring him.
Just as TADE isn't acting like someone who's actually hired a lawyer, neither is he acting like someone who's got a sweet next gig lined up. He's acting like someone desperate for publicity, trying to play the victim after having been fired for being a dumbass, and hoping to convert his reputation from one of unemployable misogynist into one of the misunderstood victim of something akin to a Stalinist purge... from one of the biggest capitalist success stories of the 21st century. Seriously, this dumbass has showed up for at least one media event wearing a "Goolag" t-shirt, as if Google were somehow exactly the same as Stalin's USSR.
And make no mistake, TADE is unemployable. He's not so much famous as infamous, and he became so by indulging in selfish, infantile behaviour which no large employer would ever tolerate. There is no company, anywhere, that would not have fired his ass for pulling a stunt like the one he pulled. The fact that he's incapable of admitting that the whole thing was a bad idea, saying he's sorry, and then at least pretending to have learned something from the experience, at least long enough to get another job somewhere else, really does render him unemployable, except maybe by Breitbart.
No, TADE won't be working at Wikileaks, and he isn't suing Google, either. Whether Google might just decide to sue him is, however, another matter entirely. After all, the whole point of firing TADE was to make the problem he represented go away; if he's not going to go away, instead spending his time actively slandering and libelling Google's organization and leadership (did I mention that he showed up for a photo op wearing a "Goolag" shirt? TADE's intention to damage their reputations couldn't be clearer) then it might make sense for Google to really make an example of him, while also establishing the solidity of their legal position beyond all doubt.
They're already paying the PR price, after all; they may as well get something for it.
