    Google moonshot spinout SandboxAQ claims an ex-exec is trying ‘extortion’

    The drama! A shocking lawsuit has been filed against SandboxAQ CEO Jack Hidary, alleging some pretty scandalous behavior, including “sexual encounters” and “deceptive financial information” presented to investors. But here’s the kicker: the plaintiff himself redacted some of the juiciest details. What’s going on, folks?

    The former employee, who’s filing a wrongful termination lawsuit, has asked the court to unredact certain parts of the lawsuit, including allegations of sexual encounters and the physical situation of non-party individuals observed during business travel. Yeah, it’s getting weird.

    SandboxAQ’s legal team is pushing back hard, calling the plaintiff a “serial liar” and stating the lawsuit is full of false claims. They’re also accusing the plaintiff of trying to fabricate statutory claims and cover up his own misdeeds.

    So, what’s the tea? The lawsuit alleges that Hidary used company resources and investor funds to “solicit, transport, and entertain female companions.” Yeah, that’s some serious stuff. It also claims that Hidary offered tens of millions of dollars worth of stock at a premium price based on misleading figures presented to potential investors.

    This case is getting attention because of the high-profile investors involved, including billionaire Eric Schmidt, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, and Bridgewater hedge fund founder Ray Dalio. Despite the controversy, SandboxAQ has still managed to raise over $1 billion in funding from the likes of Google, Nvidia, and Dalio.

    I’m left wondering, what’s going on here? Is the plaintiff trying to take down Hidary, or are they both just playing a dirty game? Either way, this is one heck of a drama.
