When you are suing regarding breach of contract, and stating that the breach of contract results in loss of future revenue, you need to put on a show, so to speak, to demonstrate that.
So you sue your sale rep for violating a NDA presumably, and sue his new informer for stealing company secrets.
You sue the employee for the breach of contract, as well as the new employer for their part of the breach.
Now, Dimond isn't actually interested in lawyering up against diamondback. (Resources and what not, and probably also a terrible case). But they need to make the appearance that Jordan's actions have a severe impact on future earnings.
I have a lot of questions about the contract language. Jordan's story is a bit curious, but despite him lying re: Dimond's quality until very recently, I will take it all as truthful. The 150k figure is amusing - they're going to have to prove that Jordan's marketing power in year 2 was with 30 bike sales. Obviously the terms of the termination of the contract will be important to see.
Lastly, I don't see how Dimond has the resources to go on a lawsuit quest.
