Lloyd, who had worked at Omega for 11 years and became "a trusted member of the family" there, had actually built the computer network that he would later destroy.

And, unlike the extraneous information in Waldorf, the "Love Bug" story is both completely unrelated and factually dissimilar to the facts of the case.
