"In an emailed statement to TechCrunch, Deel says that it is "not aware of any investigation. We will always cooperate with the relevant authorities and provide any necessary information in response to valid inquiries." Deel's statement then makes its own allegations against Rippling. It points to its own lawsuit that alleges its rival has been on a "smear campaign," claiming it's beating the competitor in the market, and adding, "the truth will win in court.""
"The Rippling employee was caught in a sting operation and confessed to being a paid spy for Deel in an Irish court via a sworn written statement that reads like a Hollywood movie. The employee testified that he took Rippling's sales leads, product roadmaps, customer account info, names of superstar employees, whatever was asked for, and handed it over to Deel executives."
The Department of Justice has opened a criminal investigation into Deel over allegations that the company hired a corporate spy to leak confidential information about rival Rippling. Deel denies knowledge of any investigation and says it will cooperate with authorities while accusing Rippling of a smear campaign and asserting confidence in legal outcomes. Rippling sued Deel alleging a paid spy stole sales leads, product roadmaps, customer account information, and employee identities and handed them to Deel executives. Rippling's civil suit includes RICO allegations; Deel has countersued with its own spying claims and both companies remain embroiled in ongoing litigation.
