The man who killed Google Search?

What's the source for all of this? It includes reportage of a bunch of conversations where there's no way this guy was present.

There are plenty of links in the article to "emails released as part of the Department of Justice’s antitrust case against Google". I didn't read any of it as saying he was involved in those conversations, they're just conversations that have been made public.

I am directly citing emails revealed in discovery as part of the Department of Justice's antitrust suit against Google. They're all linked in there too! And you can even see who was CC'd. It's a little confusing because some of them are part of one big, fat thread that you have to read from the bottom up.

The article has a bunch of links like this one: https://www.justice.gov/usdoj-media/atr/media/1322631/dl

If you follow them you'll get copies of email threads related to a suit against Google where the non-public information was revealed.

It's based on emails published as evidence in a trial:

Thanks for responding. That'll teach me to skim-read while I'm on a meeting so can't give it my full attention.

It seems no-one, not even Google, can escape Outlook-style email concatenation.

No worries at all, happens to the best of us!
