I don’t think the letter was “warning they have dirt on them”.

Presumably it was a letter on another topic say an accusation about Rippling poaching Deel’s employees.

Rippling’s legal counsel sends a letter back saying “we aren’t poaching, there are plenty of Deel employees are looking to leave based on posts to Twitter and Slack discussions such as those in the “d-defector” channel.”

The "d-defactor" channel isn't a world-famous Slack channel - Deel didn't think twice about why this supposedly internal channel name was mentioned in the communication other than being a bait, while many other things were "redacted"?

The guy was doing a search of slack channel dozen of times per day for months and months.

He was clearly willing to take risks.
