Instead of Zen Dens, Starwood Builds an Espionage Case Against Hilton | washingtonpost.com

The lawsuit, filed in April, alleges that when Nassetta began the recruiting process, Klein requested "large volumes of confidential information from Starwood employees, which he took home, had loaded on a personal laptop computer and/or forwarded to a personal e-mail account, and which he then took to and used at and for Hilton." The lawsuit also contends that Klein signed an employment agreement -- which he faxed to Hilton from Starwood's office -- but waited three days to tell his boss he was leaving, all the while requesting more documents.
