Former Google ad tech executive Chris LaSala says he used default default to his advantage in chat chat messages.

The judge could go as far as giving an adverse inference about Google ’s missing documents.

Google employees were well aware of how their written words could be used against the company, the government argued.

Still, he made clear he wasn’t “condoning Google ’s failure to preserve chat evidence” and said, “Any company that puts the onus on employees to identify and preserve relevant evidence does so at its own peril. Google avoided sanctions in this case. It may not be so lucky in the next one.”.
