It was, but no one has any additional info As to why he left/fired, so it migrated into something else. He left nearly a year ago so it’s very unlikely we’ll ever know the real story.

they expire after a year probably so he's good I'm sure
I'm speaking for myself, not my old friend and colleague, Paul... There's a difference between an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) and a Non-Compete Agreement. And I'll comment no more.

Who is Paul Working for ?
I'm assuming for himself. I don't have any facts just local chatter

Non-competes can be limited in duration and distance depending on where you are.

Noncompete is always limited duration. I doubt it would stand up in court if it weren't.
Non DISCLOSURE is pretty much forever or until nobody cares. You can't spill the beans on the secret Zildjian alloy just because it's been 15 years since you left. Details of a product launch from 40 years ago is now "history" and I doubt you would be drug into court for spilling the beans about exactly when they switched to the hollow logo stamp
Check out his Instagram page. Video today of him hand hammering a cymbal.
