Prisoner Sues Intel For $5 Billion
Inmate Matthew Young claims that Steve Jobs stole the idea of his "Lancelot" and passed it onto Intel.
Matthew Robert Young, currently incarcerated at the Snake River Correctional Institution in Ontario, Oregon, says that the Core 2 Duo chip and its virtualization technology are based on his earlier "Lancelot" design.
The computer itself was meant to be "Hacker proof, Virus proof Computer with Multiphase Microprocessors" and he was hoping that Apple would market or buy the design off him, for a cool $250 million. Surprisingly, there was no comeback call.
According to the filing though, Steve Jobs met up with Intel later that year and passed those secrets on, and in June 2006, Intel senior vice president Pat Gelsinger appeared in The Oregonian holding a motherboard. Young says he can prove this motherboard was manufactured from his stolen intellectual property.
Young wrote to Intel:
As if that wasn't enough, Young then cites the Bible as reference for why Intel is liable, specifically Romans 3:19/20:
v. 19 Now we know that what things so ever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped and all the world may become guilty before God.
v. 20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in His sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
