TL;DR: Intern spoke Korean and was able to read emails in discovery during a lawsuit. Found the "smoking gun" of evidence tampering.

I wish they talked more about the intern's contribution in terms of effort, time, rewards, etc.

The intern was euthanized at the end of the summer, as is tradition.
