This is unfortunate to read, but judging by the characters of those who resigned and filed suit (known through colleagues), and the security footage, their account is believable. I doubt this is a power grab, why would they quit working on groundbreaking technology out of spite?

Seems to be a group who tried to steer the company in the right direction and lost.

Monorail; monorail; monorail!
