this has nothing to do with the lawsuit. this is insider STOCK trading not parts/design trading. He was giving them inside info so they knew which companies to buy stocks in before anyone else did, which is illegal.

The actions of one, do not speak for the entire company. There's a reason why he's been an ex-employee of Samsung for quite some time....

I agree with both remixfa and cheetah.
Also, with the crazy confidentiality agreements that Apple makes everyone and their mother sign to even wash the floor at Cupertino, Apple can go after the individual but not Samsung in this, the employee not the company.
