The multibillion-dollar legal battle between the co-founder and former chief executive of Tinder and its parent company IAC has taken a new turn.
The multibillion-dollar legal battle between Sean Rad, the co-founder and former chief executive of Tinder and its parent company IAC, took a new turn Thursday when IAC alleged in a new court filing that Rad secretly recorded multiple conversations with Tinder employees and his supervisors, potentially violating California law requiring both parties to consent to being recorded.
Rad’s lawyers also argued that the underlying premise of the countersuit — that IAC can sue for damages equal to how much stock compensation Rad received from the date that he began recording people, because IAC would have fired him had it known what he was doing — is flawed, and that the countersuit amounts to retaliation.
In January, IAC — a holding company led by Barry Diller with a sprawling portfolio of digital properties —against Rad and his fellow plaintiffs, arguing that he had secretly copied company files and other proprietary information to his personal devices while working at Tinder, and deleted files from his work devices and accounts.
