Not really, he would be guilty as hell.

For context I spent 15 months negotiating with world class corporate lawyers of my $300billion market cap clients for;

1). Permission to hold their sensitive data

2). Permission to train neural nets with their data

3). Permission to own those neural nets

4). Permission to sell services built on those neural nets back to them

In the end they agreed, but I was forced to agree that we would never sell a controlling stake to anyone in the industry. Had to promise our company would not enter a number of markets.

Learnt a hell of a lot during all those talks.
