Scenario
Chen manages IP Specialists, a 15-person member-managed LLC in Silicon Valley and New York that helps startup firms sell their goods. The Cayman Islands-based "Business Investors, LTD" franchises the business. Chen met with Nigel in New York as a member of IP Specialists to discuss marketing a new cybersecurity product. Chen works with the Chinese military that steals American intellectual property. After Chen signed a non-disclosure agreement, Nigel sent Chen his study. Chen then sent the Chinese military Nigel's cybersecurity software without authorization. Chen celebrated his latest IP theft by drinking grapefruit-flavored vodka while driving in New Jersey and messaging his girlfriend, Kara Le. He hit a vehicle driven by a soccer mom with six children on their way to a post-game pizza party at 65 mph.
Several youngsters were severely injured. Chen escaped to Hong Kong after the crash, unharmed by his airbag, before being detained. He informed the LLC a few weeks later that he was leaving and no longer liable for its debts. The damaged children's families have sued Chen and the LLC for damages in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The LLC claims they are not liable for kid damages. The LLC sued Chen in the same court to avoid liability for the accident and damages. Finally, Nigel sued Chen in Nevada for stealing his cybersecurity software.
