Stepney killed

Nigel Stepney, ex Ferrari mechanic was killed on Friday after
getting out of his van into traffic. Unbelievable really. One of
the major cheats in F1 history and we will probably never know
the truth of why.

Money. That's why he and Coughlin did it. I hate that he died
that way, but the guy was a greedy asshole that sold Ferrari
down the river so he and Coughlin could get high paying powerful
positions at Honda. That's all there is to it.

Not true. He did that all by himself by stealing all that data
to begin with. He did that all by his lonesome.

I've heard that tall tale too, but point in fact it was Honda
that turned him in. He and Coughlin went to Honda for a job
interview with a CD that contained all kinds of data. Stepney
had said that it was his body of work along with Coughlin's.
Honda was very suspicious about the whole affair and blew the
whistle.
It of course turned out to be data from not only Ferrari but
McLaren as well. Although McLaren was the only team punished for
it when only Coughlin knew anything about it.
He didn't photocopy a damn thing. He just downloaded it all to a
CD and walked out the door with it.

Oh i see.

report has the wife of Mike Coughlan getting caught photocopying
them.

That's what happens when you let idiots wiki.
Think about it a second. How in hell would Mike's wife be able
to copy anything? She never worked at either place and didn't
have access to get past the receptionist, let alone anyplace
even remotely secretive.
Secondly, can you just imagine being at the McLaren center or at
the Ferrari factory and there being banks of servers along side
rows of computers...
and a Xerox machine?
LMAO! Yes. Sure. Right.

It was supposed to have taken place at a shop in surrey and the
worker in the shop became suspicious, i believe there may be
some truth as it is/was reported in some makor media bubbles
such as the gaurdian.
But who knows, to this day it is still fishy.
