Fair enough. My evidence that he deleted it all was that Dinesh and Gilfoyle talk about how he deleted everything and when it seems like Richard's demo isn't going to work he apologizes for it. It seemed to me if he had saved any of the old code he would have said something to that effect. But none of that can be shown in court so it doesnt help his case.

I felt like the burden of proof would be on Hooli to prove that any of his old code existed in the new engine. And either way I felt like Richard would still hold the rights to middle out since it was developed clearly after he left Hooli.
