> You cannot go around accusing someone trying to start their career (this intern) of IP theft

I'm not saying that I agree with threatening legal action here, but this isn't really a fair classification. You are implying the the CEO put an ex-intern on blast in the community. There is a huge difference between making a statement in a private email (which the other party then releases), and making a public accusation (which is what you're implying).




> making a public accusation (which is what you're implying).

These are the words Masad used on Twitter to describe the situation in the OP:

> As a matter of principle, when someone goes into your home and steals from you, even if it's not material, you have to respond.

That's a direct public accusation of IP theft.


I understand what you're saying, and I agree to an extend. But this is a thread about the apology after these accusations were made public. Instead of the apology Ajmad gave, clearly stating that nothing was stolen would be much more beneficial.


If Amjad had left it at the email, all would be fine. He went way too far on Twitter and behaved like a brute.
