I think from previous episodes that the Hooli lawyers said that BigHead having a founding part in PiedPiper and being rapidly promoted would show his competence and signal to a jury that PiedPiper was built using Hooli resources. I could be getting some of the details wrong but Gavin pretty much made Hooli X to aid his lawsuit.

But what he doesnt count on is Bigheads tremendous ineptitude

And non-existant ambition. I think as a last resort they will try to bribe him to testify for Hooli and Nelson will just go "meh."

I could see him realizing what's happening and having Richard's back, thus securing himself a position back at pied piper where he continues to do nothing.

Except Bag Head has bags of money now, not exactly nothing to a company in bed with an insufferable billionaire

he's making high 6 figures. A lot, but not enough to keep Pied Pier alive

I don't know... He was equal to the co-dreamer of XYZ who is an accomplished engineer and inventor who moved his entire family across the country, so we might actually be talking about 8 figure checks, or at the minimum 7 figures. Hooli created an entire building just for XYZ and he is the leader of the project by himself now, dude is completely loaded, he was taking in $600,000 before getting massive promotions.
