Deel scores a lawsuit win, but not against Rippling


While Deel is calling this a "Rippling-aligned" suit, it's not the lawsuit filed by Rippling involving an alleged corporate spy.

In January, a lawsuit was filed in Florida by Melanie Damian, who accused Deel of helping Russian entities sidestep U.S. sanctions by processing payments for Surge Capital Ventures. Deel is attempting to tie this case to the suit filed by Rippling in part because Damian’s lawyers cited the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). On top of all of that, the person who confessed to being Deel’s alleged corporate spy, Keith O’Brien, successfully filed a restraining order against people he said were following him and scaring his family.
