That's the other thing. Even if it somehow magically turns out that they didn't plagiarize Buckmaster and Alpöge, that an independent audit goes through all their processes and finds that they could not possibly have stolen anything, and ignoring their outrageous attempts to force a coauthor off the author list, and ignoring that their employees act like small children on social media, this is a company whose culture is “we heard of a breakthrough being possible, let's scoop it”.

Normally, when you tell a coworker that you're wrapping up a result, unless they're some kind of sociopath, their natural inclination would not be to try to steal it from you.
