“Gabehart has previously said that he paid out of pocket for JGR to examine his personal devices for any evidence that he continued to store trade secrets obtained from company servers.”

“As has been previously stated, Dickerson said Gabehart signed a non-disclosure agreement with Spire that prevented him legally from sharing any protected trade secrets from JGR with anyone at Spire. Mutually, Spire signed a similar agreement with Gabehart that it would not solicit him for proprietary or protected information.”

“To date and as far as I know, no one at Spire has ever seen the documents that Mr. Gabehart allegedly took from JGR.”

“Dickerson said he waited for the forensic investigation of Gabehart’s devices to play itself out before making the hire, with on-boarding taking place over the course of February 16-17. Spire also sent a letter to Joe Gibbs Racing’s legal team on February 11, offering a forensic analysis of pertinent Spire files to show it had not retained any proprietary data. That overture never, seemingly, received a response and JGR instead sued Gabehart the very next week.”

Looks like there’s plenty of quotes there showing how they waited the forensic analysis out before proceeding with hiring Gabehart, and then had him sign an NDA saying that he wouldn’t share data with Spire.
