Wow, those are some pretty outrageous allegations if true:

  > Defendant Shervin Pishevar, who was generally uninvolved in 
  > day-to-day matters, began dating the company’s PR vendor, and
  > increased her salary from $15,000 to $40,000 a month ...

  > When their subsequent wedding engagement fell through, he 
  > finally heeded suggestions that her work was worth little, 
  > and terminated the arrangement.

  > Similarly, Defendant Joseph Lonsdale insisted that the 
  > company hire his little brother’s two-person outfit, with
  > no notable experience with companies building hardware and
  > engaged in infrastructure development, and few independent
  > contacts with international and top-tier investor funds, 
  > as the company’s exclusive  investment bank

  > Meanwhile, Shervin installed his brother, a personal injury
  > and criminal defense attorney with his own small firm in
  > Rockville, Maryland, as Hyperloop One’s General Counsel,
  > granting him salary and stock options far greater than even
  > the most talented engineers received.

  > Later that night, Afshin Pishevar, the lawyer and Shervin’s
  > brother as mentioned in the letter, was seen placing a noose
  > on BamBrogan’s chair on the security camera.
