PayPal Is Really Fucking Pissed Off At Google Over Wallet

parislemon:

The PayPal blog post on the matter is short, sweet, and to the point. And they include a link to the PDF with all the details. 

I’m not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV, but if Osama Bedier really was interviewing for a job with Google while he was negotiating a PayPal/Google deal (for Android) that’s not good. Reminds me of this.

Writes PayPal:

By 2010, the executive in charge of the negotiations for PayPal was Osama Bedier. The executive in charge of the negotiations for Google was Andy Rubin. PayPal and Google had a deal finalized and signature-ready on October 26, 2010. By that time, unknown to PayPal, Bedier had just finished a series of job interviews with Google senior executives, culminating with a meeting on October 21 between Bedier, Google Senior Vice President Jonathan Rosenberg, and then-President of Google Larry Page.

That deal was never signed. A few days later, Google supposedly offered Bedier a job.

But on the flipside, why not bring it up until right now — the day Bedier was on stage for Google to release Wallet? PayPal implies that it’s because they presented Bedier with their objections to him going to Google and he backed down. And while a PayPal/Google deal was eventually signed, it fell apart before being completed when Page took over for Eric Schmidt as Google CEO. And Bieder made his move. Compelling stuff.

Also, if Bedier knows all that PayPal claims he knows and gave to Google, don’t you sue immediately when you know what he’s going to be working on at Google? (Remember when IBM sued Apple to stop Mark Papermaster from working there before he even started?) PayPal seems to say that Bedier gave them “assurances”, but come on, what else is the guy going to work on? I mean, you just admitted that you already stopped him once out of that very fear.

This one could get really interesting. Can’t wait to see Google’s blog post in response.
