Uber eventually settled a lawsuit the woman filed against the company; the driver was convicted of rape. He spent months in India as Uber established itself there, and conducted his own investigation. Current and former Uber employees were surprised to learn that Alexander was not one of the 20 employees that Uber said on Tuesday it had fired. He was only let go after reporters asked Uber about his actions, despite several high-level executives having knowledge of the matter, according to two of the people familiar with the matter. For now, Uber employees are awaiting the results of Holder’s investigation.
