Zillow’s Motion to Strike is noting more than a misguided attempt to prevent the Court’s

consideration of damning admissions from a whistleblower who Zillow claims is very likely one

of its executives—its Vice President of Strategic Partnerships. Zillow inappropriately positions

its motion as if the parties are in the middle of trial and the Court must decide whether the

whistleblower letter should go to the jury—relying authentication, hearsay, and admissibility

objections. This is a discovery motion, and the strict rules of admissibility simply do not apply.

No matter, Zillow’s admissibility complaints are largely belied by its own admissions regarding

the contents of the whistleblower letter and the identity of the author, who Zillow states sent the

letter while still a Zillow employee. Thus, the whistleblower letter has been authenticated by

Zillow, and is not hearsay.

Zillow fails to cite even one reasonably applicable authority that a whistleblower letter

from one of its own employees should be excluded during a discovery motion. Instead, it relies

on cases regarding a home foreclosure, a horse breeding contest, a driver’s license revocation

appeal, and a criminal molestation appeal—none related to discovery issues. Each case concerns

an appeal or final determination of a matter, not what is the proper use of a whistleblower letter

to warrant discovery. Those cases reveal the proverbial bottom of the barrel to which Zillow

attempts to reach to distract attention from evidence catching it in acts of severe wrongdoing and

hiding evidence from plaintiffs.

Zillow also trumpets the supposed inaccuracy of the whistleblower letter—five times in

its motion to strike, six times in a one-page declaration to support the motion to strike, and eight

times in its submission to the Special Master this week—calling the letter false, inaccurate,

misleading, unfounded, or any number adjectives to tarnish the letter. Yet Zillow has not, and

will not, say what specifically is incorrect. In fact, it is quite ironic that Zillow claims the letter

is so inaccurate to not be trusted, but then alleges it contains important Zillow trade secrets,

which by definition must be true. Zillow’s motion to strike, the submission to the special master,

and Zillow’s motion to seal portions of the letter and its corresponding reply brief, are all silent

about what is inaccurate. According to Zillow, the whistleblower letter is from a knowledgeable

source (a Zillow Vice President), and its authenticity or the knowledge of the author cannot be

challenged and does not warrant striking the letter in this discovery context.

Of course, Zillow’s claim that the whistleblower letter contains “trade secrets” is wrong

as a matter of law because a defendant’s methods for stealing the plaintiffs’ trade secrets cannot

themselves be protectable trade secrets. The issue of whether Zillow can use the judicial process

to immunize and seal from public view Zillow’s unlawful conduct will be addressed in a separate

motion to this Court. But, for purposes of Zillow’s motion to strike, it makes no difference

whether or not the whistleblower letter contains any supposed trade secrets of either party (and

Zillow does not even make this argument).

Lastly, the letter is relevant to this discovery dispute. Defendants have destroyed

evidence, failed to produce a substantial amount of documents, which has resulted in numerous

motions to compel that defendants fight tooth and nail with emphatic declarations of innocence

and alleged compliance with their discovery obligations. The whistleblower letter shines a bright

light on what plaintiffs have suspected all along; defendants have been withholding large

categories of documents and simply cannot be trusted to produce relevant documents, which is

why the third party subpoenas are critical for plaintiffs’ case.

I. STATEMENT OF FACTS

A. Defendants Have Been Caught Destroying Evidence Before.

Plaintiffs National Association of Realtors and Move, Inc. operate the realtor.com real

estate website. Plaintiffs are suing their biggest competitor, Zillow, Inc. and two former Move

executives that Zillow poached from Move in 2014 for misappropriation of trade secrets, tortious

interference, and breaches of fiduciary duty. On June 30, 2014, the Court issued a preliminary

injunction against defendants finding, among other things, that defendant Errol Samuelson

misappropriated plaintiffs’ trade secrets. The Court also drew negative inferences against

defendants because Samuelson took steps to destroy evidence from his computers. On February

11, 2015, this Court issued an Order To Show Cause Re Contempt For Defendants’ Violation of

The Preliminary Injunction, which was subsequently settled out of court.

In short, this is not an ordinary case with ordinary defendants. The Court has already

concluded they destroyed evidence. Experts have confirmed they destroyed evidence. And

plaintiffs have complained for months that defendants are systematically hiding evidence in

secret non-Zillow email accounts and file-sharing services. Defendants have denied the claims,

deriding them as “silly” conspiracy theories and claimed they have produced their documents,

supposedly even from non-Zillow emails and file sharing services.

B. A Whistleblower Has Revealed that Defendants Continue to Hide Evidence and

Misappropriate Trade Secrets.

Last Thursday, April 9, the plaintiffs received an anonymous whistleblower letter.

Zillow now confirms the whistleblower letter is authentic when it describes that it was written by

a Zillow employee. The two-page whistleblower letter corroborates plaintiffs’ allegations in this

case and provides more details about defendants’ misappropriation and other unlawful conduct.

Regarding Mr. Samuelson and his conduct while enjoined by this Court, the whistleblower letter

states: “Was he working while on injunction? yes, absolutely. Was he careful so you couldn’t

catch him, yes, absolutely.” April 10, 2015, Singer Dec., Sub. 536, Ex. A. The letter also

confirms that defendants have stolen multiple documents and entire databases, are using the

stolen information, and are hiding evidence on non-Zillow electronic services. The

whistleblower letter discloses that Mr. Beardsley has stolen copies of Move’s “private MLS

contact database, listing count database and other databases,” and that Mr. Beardsley uses these

stolen databases through a non-Zillow Google Docs1 account to attempt to shield them from

discovery. Id. Mr. Beardsley’s use of the stolen Move databases was not hidden, but “many

other employees have witnessed him using this database … to benefit Zillow’s efforts. Id.

1 Google Docs is a web-based application where documents can be created, edited and stored online, and then

accessed from any computer with an Internet connection and web browser.

The whistleblower identifies specific individuals, specific documents, and specific

locations to search for evidence of defendants’ unlawful conduct. For instance, it lists Mr.

Samuelson’s last two assistants by name, identifies the Concur system Zillow uses for expenses,

identifies names of more than a dozen Zillow employees and specifies the information each

person knows. Id.

The whistleblower also exposes Samuelson’s failure to comply with the Court’s

preliminary injunction by disclosing his meetings in “private meeting rooms at a hotel” near the

Inman Technology Conference, and that Beardsley booked those rooms. The whistleblower also

reveals that Zillow CEO Rascoff would have known that Samuelson was violating the injunction

by actively working on matters prohibited under the injunction because he “has to personally

approve large amounts” in the expense reports. Id.

The extensive detail in the whistleblower letter, with employee names, details of the

misdeeds, identification of the stolen databases, dates of particular events, and the recitation of

facts only an employee would know, are more than sufficient detail to give the letter

credibility—certainly enough to reject Zillow’s arguments otherwise.

C. Because the Whistleblower Letter is Relevant to the Pending Motions, Plaintiffs

Promptly Shared it With the Court and Opposing Counsel.

On Friday, April 10, at 10:00 a.m., plaintiffs submitted the whistleblower letter to this

Court as further evidence of defendants’ ongoing misappropriation and related cover-up. This

new evidence is relevant to the two pending motions regarding the scope of third-party document

subpoenas to Trulia and the Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan investment banks involved in

Zillow’s acquisition of Trulia, which plaintiffs contend was instigated by a tip from Samuelson

(while a Move executive) to Zillow’s CEO that a Move/Trulia merger was forthcoming.

The whistleblower letter discredits Zillow and Samuelson’s blanket denials of

responsibility regarding Samuelson’s tip to Zillow, and Zillow’s subsequent Trulia acquisition.

Those same declarants (Rascoff and Samuelson) have also declared in filings to this Court that

Samuelson was not working during the injunction. The letter specifically refutes those

declarations and alleges that Samuelson was “absolutely” working during the injunction,

“absolutely” being careful to hide his conduct, and that his conduct was known to Rascoff.

Thus, the letter raises serious doubts about all of Rascoff’s and Samuelson’s declarations,

including the outright denials provided to the Special Master that led to the Special Master’s

slashing of the scope of the subpoenas to Trulia and the investment banks.

In addition, plaintiffs have received no documents from Zillow regarding the illegal

conduct disclosed in the whistleblower letter, such as the stolen Move databases and information

stored on non-Zillow Google Docs cloud storage—even though plaintiffs moved to compel

production of information stored on gmail and non-Zillow cloud storage locations, which was

met with defiant denials that any documents were being withheld. Plaintiffs have received no

documents regarding Samuelson’ meeting with MLSs in private hotel rooms in violation of the

injunction, which is described in detail in the whistleblower letter. The end result is that

plaintiffs cannot rely on defendants to satisfy their obligations to produce the necessary and

required discovery, which is why the third party discovery that is the subject of these Motions is

so critical—they may be the only reliable source of documents.

Because the whistleblower letter calls into serious question defendants’ denials and their

ability to provide fulsome discovery, it is appropriate evidence for this Court to consider when

deciding whether the Special Master orders should be revised.

II. ARGUMENT

A. Zillow’s Complaints Regarding the Whistleblower Letter’s Admissibility are Both

Irrelevant and Incorrect.

Zillow’s arguments that the whistleblower letter is inadmissible, not authentic, and

hearsay are not valid bases to strike the document, and are not even true. The proper standard for

this discovery motion is not admissibility. Indeed, CR 26(b)(1) explicitly states: “It is not

grounds for objection that the information sought will be inadmissible at the trial if the

information sought appears reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible

evidence.” CR 26(b)(1). The rule equally applies to this situation where the allegedly

inadmissible documents is only being used in the discovery context. Fleming v. Parnell, 2014

WL 25621, at *2 (W.D. Wash. Jan. 2, 2014) (allowing discovery based on affidavit over hearsay

objection because the party did not submit the affidavit “at trial to prove the truth of the matter

asserted,” but instead to support a motion to compel discovery of relevant documents.) The

same is true here.

Zillow argues that the letter is unsigned and therefore inadmissible to support its effort to

strike the letter from the record. It misleadingly quotes only select portions of Wilkerson v.

Wegner to further its argument—leaving out a key differentiating segment: “The certifications

considered by the trial court were not signed under penalty of perjury nor were they sworn

statements …. [W]e do not consider such ‘certifications’ to be competent proof ….” (Br. at 6),

but Zillow withholds the key finish to the quote “not competent proof in a summary judgment

proceeding.” 58 Wash. App. 404, 408 fn. 3. This is not a summary judgment proceeding, or a

trial. It is discovery. The standards are different, and Zillow surely understands the distinction.

Zillow’s intentionally misleading recitation of an already strained case highlights the lengths it

will go to eliminate this damaging document from the record.

Zillow’s hearsay arguments are equally inapplicable and unconvincing. In fact, for

discovery purposes, even an anonymous letter can be persuasive evidence to allow further

discovery. Wright v. Watkins & Shepard Trucking, Inc. 968 F. Supp.2d 1092, 1096 (D. Nev.

2013) (re-opening discovery based on anonymous letter supporting plaintiff’s claims); Plunk v.

Vill. Of Elwood, 2009 WL 1444436, at *3 (N.D. Ill. May 20, 2009) (allowing further discovery

based on receipt of anonymous letter). Zillow now claims it knows the identity of the

whistleblower. Thus, the plaintiffs’ use of the letter here is even more reliable than in cases

where Courts have relied on anonymous letters to warrant further discovery.

In any event, Zillow claims the letter was “authored by Zillow employee Chris Crocker,”

and received by plaintiffs “two business days before Mr. Crocker’s last day at Zillow.”

Declaration of Jack M. Lovejoy, Ex. 1 (Zillow Emergency Application for a Preservation Order

(submitted to Special Master Hilyer) at 6. Thus, Mr. Crocker—Zillow’s Vice President

responsible for strategic partnerships, product development, and representing Zillow at industry

events—was a Zillow employee at the time he drafted the letter. Lovejoy Dec., Ex. 2, (Crocker

LinkedIn page). His statements, made with an executive’s knowledge, are Zillow admissions,

not hearsay. See Sea-Land Serv. Inc. v. Lozen Int’l, LLC, 285 F.3d 808, 821 (9th Cir. 2002) (a

statement made by a party employee concerning a matter within the scope of the agency or

employment is a party admission and not hearsay).

While Zillow blasts the letter as “unfounded” and challenges its authenticity, it at the

same time asserts that Mr. Crocker was one of few individuals with knowledge of some of the

information in the letter, and that it supposedly contained his “trademark sign off: ‘Good

hunting.’” Lovejoy Dec. Ex. 1 at 6-7. Even if authentication were an issue in this discovery

motion, which it is not, Zillow’s admissions have sufficiently deemed the letter (from a

“disgruntled former employee”2) to be authentic. Wash. ER 901(a) (the authentication

requirement “is satisfied by evidence sufficient to support a finding that the matter in question is

what its proponent claims.”)

B. Plaintiffs’ Supplemental Filing is Procedurally Proper and Should Not Be Stricken.

Plaintiffs filed the instant motion on April 6. Plaintiffs received the whistleblower letter

on Thursday afternoon, April 9, and submitted it to the Court on the morning of April 10.

Despite that record, Zillow argues that the supplemental submission is “untimely filed” (Br. at

6), which makes no sense. Plaintiffs submitted the letter as soon as they could have. Similarly,

Zillow complains that the whistleblower letter was not before the Special Master and therefore

should not be considered. Again, the whistleblower sent the letter after the Special Master

delivered his relevant orders. The letter could not have been submitted any sooner because it did

not exist yet.

Zillow also challenges the submission of any supplemental materials based on the Order

appointing the Special Master, but that Order specifically allows revision of the Special Master’s

2 Lovejoy Declaration Ex. 1 at 1.

orders by the trial court judge based on “the records of the case.” The letter, once submitted, is a

record of the case. Zillow is simply wrong. Indeed, motions for reconsideration based on

newly-learned evidence are allowed with the court’s discretion. Martini v. Post, 178 Wn. App.

153, 162 (2013) (affirming reversal of summary judgment based on new evidence). While

Zillow would surely like to bury the whistleblower letter and its damaging admissions of

Zillow’s misdeeds, the Court may properly consider the letter.3 In fact, the local rules, which

Zillow erroneously contends “discourage” supplemental materials (Br. at 6), allow the Court to

impose terms and “otherwise” order to allow the supplemental material. Here, the fact that the

Plaintiffs received the letter after they filed the instant motions warrant the supplemental filing.

Zillow’s remaining case citations are far off base. Zillow cites Powell v. Rinne for the

proposition that the court may strike or disregard evidence that is untimely, improperly

structured, not based on personal knowledge, or is defective. (Br. at 6). But Powell concerns a

home foreclosure where the defendant submitted an appraisal moments before the hearing, which

was eight months after the notice of forfeiture, and years after continued missed payments and

failure to pay taxes. Powell v. Rinne, 71 Wash.App. 297, 300-301 (1993). The situation is not

even close to what occurred here. And Zillow’s reliance on Metcalf v. State (regarding a DMV

proceeding to revoke a driver’s license), and State v. Payne (regarding an appeal of a child

molestation conviction), are equally inapplicable. Neither is in the discovery context and both

concern evidence admitted in a proceeding where a final determination had been made. These

cases are far afield from this situation.

C. The Whistleblower Letter is Relevant to the Instant Motions.

The plaintiffs’ motions seek to revise the Special Master’s orders on third-party

subpoenas that severely limited the scope of the documents to be produced. The whistleblower

3 Zillow seeks the unnecessary and unusual alternate relief that the Court remand the matter back to the Special

Master. (Zillow Br. at 5). All that will do is further delay the proceedings, and further delay the production of

relevant evidence to Plaintiffs, which has been Zillow’s strategy all along. The Court has a full record and ability to

give whatever weight it so desires to the letter in ruling on the instant motions. Further delay is not required. Indeed

it would be reversible error to preclude discovery on claims and allegations directly at issue in the operative

complaint.

letter brings to light what plaintiffs have feared all along—the defendants have not been

forthcoming with their production of relevant documents. Due to defendants continued

resistance to a fulsome production, the plaintiffs must be allowed to get complete discovery from

the third parties Trulia, Goldman Sachs, and J.P. Morgan. Illiana Surgery and Medical Center

LLC v. Hartford Fire Ins. Co., No. 2:07 cv 3, 2012 WL 776694, at *8 (N.D. Ind. March 7, 2012)

(given defendant’s reluctance to produce discovery and attempts to hide information, plaintiffs’

duplicative discovery requests by subpoena are warranted); Future Commc'ns, Inc. v. Hightower,

2002 WL 926769, at *4 (Ohio Ct. App. May 9, 2002) (finding substantial need for information

from third party by subpoena because information could not be obtained from defendants after

repeated attempts).

First, the letter casts doubt on Zillow’s testimony, as well as what it will produce,

regarding its acquisition of Trulia. Zillow and Samuelson have denied that Samuelson tipped

Zillow, and that Zillow acted on that tip. Sub. 527. Rascoff Decls. at SM100-101 and SM 462

(both denying that he received a tip from Samuelson and acted on that tip); SM266 (sealed)

(citing Rascoff and Samuelson testimony denying a tip regarding the Trulia acquisition). These

denials are in the record and were surely relied on by the Special Master when limiting the scope

of discovery allowed to proceed against the third parties.

But the whistleblower impugns anything Rascoff and Samuelson say. In previous

declarations, Samuelson has averred that he complied with the Court’s preliminary injunction.

Sub. 367, Samuelson Jan. 30, 2015 Decl. Re Opposition to Contempt, ¶¶ 7, 16. Rascoff did the

same. Sub. 309, Rascoff Jan. 13, 2015 Decl. Re Mot. to Increase Bond, ¶¶ 2, 3 and 7 (stating

Samuelson was “placed on leave,” cannot engage in any efforts to obtain direct feeds, and “has

been isolated, at home, and detached completely from work.”). But the letter contends that

Samuelson was “absolutely” working during the injunction, was “absolutely” careful so he

would not be caught, provides specifics of Samuelson’s meetings in private hotel rooms during

conferences with Mr. Beardsley who was hired (along with Samuelson) to obtain direct feeds

from MLSs, and that Rascoff knew all about Samuelson’s efforts because he personally approves

the expense reports and “pays attention to the details.”

The letter contradicts what Samuelson and Rascoff have told this Court, and raises

serious doubts about defendants’ desire to comply with the requirements of the legal process. If

they failed to comply with the Court’s preliminary injunction order, why would they bother with

basic discovery obligations. The trial court has wide discretion to assess the credibility of

witnesses, and the whistleblower letter affects the witnesses’ credibility for purposes of this

discovery motion. State v. Tyler, 177 Wash. 2d 690, 715 (2013) (“Credibility judgments are left

to the trial court”). For those reasons, the whistleblower letter is directly relevant to the third

party discovery motions now before the Court.

Moreover, the letter contains damning admissions regarding defendant (and former Move

executive) Curt Beardsley that he stole complete copies of Move databases and has been using

those databases from a Google Docs account while working for Zillow. That information is

being hidden from plaintiffs. If it was known by Mr. Crocker, then it was surely known by

others at Zillow and likely by Beardsley’s cohort Samuelson, and maybe other Zillow

executives. Yet plaintiffs have received nothing in discovery regarding those shocking facts.

Zillow has not produced one document regarding Beardsley’s use of stolen Move databases, or

that Beardsley uses a Google Docs account to store the Move databases off-site. In fact, Zillow

loudly denied that discovery into non-Zillow gmail or storage accounts were necessary, and that

it had produced everything in its possession during plaintiffs’ motion to compel on this very

issue—which was granted. Zillow still never produced or disclosed the Google Docs account or

its contents despite the fact that it appears to have been well-known around Zillow. These

deficiencies cast serious doubts on the sufficiency of what Zillow, Samuelson, and Beardsley

have given their lawyers for production, or outright hidden from their lawyers. Presumably, the

third parties will not be so willing to engage in such devious behavior.

Similarly, the letter sheds light on what it calls “illegal” activities to steal Plaintiffs data,

scrape the realtor.com website, and a ListHub replacement product, which are directly relevant to

plaintiffs’ claims against the defendants. But not one document has been provided regarding

those topics.

Lastly, the letter raises an issue regarding a “ListHub replacement product.” Plaintiffs

contend that Zillow’s acquisition of Retsly, which Samuelson withheld as an opportunity while a

Move executive so that he could save the opportunity for Zillow, was for ListHub replacement.

That issue is one of the topics in the subpoenas to the investment banks that was quashed by the

Special Master, and is now at issue in plaintiffs’ motion. See April 6, 2015, Mot. to Revise

(Investment Banks) at 5.

III. CONCLUSION

Because the whistleblower letter contains information relevant to the instant motions, and

the Court can decide what weight it decides to give the admissions in that letter with respect to

the pending motions, Zillow’s unusual request to strike evidence during this discovery motion
