OPINION

PER CURIAM. Caudill Seed & Warehouse Co. manufactures an important ingredient in certain nutritional supplements. Jarrow Formulas, Inc., a customer of Caudill’s, wanted to get into this manufacturing business. To do this, Jarrow decided to lure away Caudill’s Director of Research, Kean Ashurst, and learn Caudill’s manufacturing process from him. Caudill, understandably displeased, proceeded to federal court. Eight years later, a jury awarded Caudill approximately $7,000,000 in damages under the Kentucky Uniform Trade Secrets Act (“KUTSA”). Jarrow appeals the district court’s denial of its motions for judgment notwithstanding the verdict and for a new trial. We AFFIRM.
