Andrew Pardo, a former intern at Point72, has filed a lawsuit against the hedge fund, claiming he was dismissed after requesting a quieter workspace due to his PTSD. Pardo alleges he was diagnosed with PTSD after experiencing physical abuse and that sitting with his back to a busy corridor triggered flashbacks and panic attacks. The lawsuit accuses Point72 of violating human rights laws regarding disability and race. Pardo's attorney indicated the $20 million damages claim is a procedural placeholder, not a final number, while Point72 has labeled the accusations as "ridiculous and without merit."
