OneTrust challenges mortgage coaching neutrality in suit over trade secrets
Briefly

OneTrust is suing former loan officer Broch Lassig and mortgage coach Richard Ruby, along with Ruby's company, The Core Training, for misusing confidential business information. The lawsuit alleges breach of contract, misappropriation of trade secrets, business disparagement, and civil conspiracy. Lassig, who left OneTrust for competitor CrossCountry Mortgage, allegedly shared his profit-and-loss statements with Ruby while he was being coached. OneTrust claims this misuse of information damages their reputation and aids competitors. Scott Harkless asserts that coaches are manipulating trusted relationships for competing interests.
OneTrust alleges that Lassig misused confidential information by sharing his profit-and-loss statements with Ruby, a coach, which breaches his employment contract.
The lawsuit claims that all data belonging to OneTrust was shared with other Core coaches, potentially aiding competitors in making themselves more appealing.
According to Scott Harkless, this misuse transforms coaches into weapons that undermine the trust inherent in coaching relationships, serving hidden interests.
OneTrust emphasizes transparency regarding its costs and margins, which if accessed by competitors can diminish its market attractiveness.
