Wow, this sounds incredibly, personally familiar. This is such an Apple thing to do. In fact hearing about Solnik, I feel better about talking about things because I always thought giving out details narrowed things down a little too much.
Let me guess what happened to Solnik. He got to work one day to find out his meetings for that day was cancelled. Then got an iMessage asking him to come to a different building instead to meet with Global Security Operations. :)
This is never about Apple finding something against you. It is about Apple now deciding you are too risky to employ as you constitute an internal threat because you read too much or you put one and one together and told someone something you're not supposed know because you're not disclosed on it.
Apple probably let him keep his bonus and all the RSUs he was promised, as a demonstration of "good faith".
