Rippling sued @Deel today. Our lawsuit alleges Deel cultivated a spy at Rippling & orchestrated a long-running trade-secret theft. The spy searched “deel” in our systems 23 times per day on avg, letting him spy on Deel’s own customers who were considering a switch to Rippling.

waiting for your reaction to this ^^

perfectly put

honestly thought the part about the Information article and associated Slack searches was an underrated nominee for lowkey wildest part of the story. so blatant

Yeah wow you’re right. Wild

side note can we appreciate Parker's linkedin? talk about founder humility

Haha I’ve seen this! Do you think worth the update on my side too?

When you have to do everything possible to grow into your valuation

haha dang... tbd on what happened and their reasons why. deel is a pretty epic company

wow that's good. straight out of a spy thriller movie.

I was actually quite surprised. If real, great move

honeypots should be used as standard security, for all types of security.

Does the suit explain what raised this level of suspicion?

They’ve gone at each other’s throats quite publicly for the last few years… Did you miss that “snake” game?

That’s amazing. Should have focused on building a great product instead of spying.

tbd on what actually happened here... but potentially doing both deel certainly has an epic product suite

Dustin Beaudoin

Rippling BETTER NOT settle because discovery is going to be devastating for Deel and beyond juicy for all of us

is too rich, angry & “bored” to settle; no shot

you guys do all this to sell some SAAS?

sometimes you have to Nix(on) your soul to hit your goal

@businessbarista

It's actually insane. I broke down the whole thing so people don't have to read the 49-page complaint:

Rippling vs. Deel podcast is live… 1) The timeline of events 2) The epic honeypot 3) A lawyer’s analysis 4) 3 takeaways for founders Grab your popcorn & listen…

doin the lord's work over there... curious re: point 4 especially

That's not what a honeypot is... unless someone gave handjob or something on the down low for information.

let's keep it PG-13 pal

dramaa!! and people say tech is just about building..

my friends are here for the lore

this goes beyond just honeypot, not only they were able to confirm the presence of a “threat actor”/spy they were also able to attribute “threat actor” to a given group (Deel). Smart!

ai generated comment begone; your kind is not wanted here

@AICounselDallas

many of these modern cases are great because will bet you dollars to donuts many judges keep thinking there are typos in the companies names!

is this a silly AI generated comment? pls don't

This needs to be a movie

100% every tech bro in SF / NYC would watch

Legal team at a public co I worked at set up a 'honeypot' in the CRM. Fake businesses were sprinkled across the 10M+ accounts, emails went to inbox that legal monitored. If an email hit the inbox from outside our domain they investigated. This is WAY more common than you think.

Absolutely wild & hopefully the bunch gets to spend a few nice years behind bars.
