- O'Brien testified that multiple men in different vehicles had repeatedly followed his car and watched his home.
- He previously confessed to being a spy for Deel, paid to steal Rippling's internal data, but was caught in an elaborate honeypot trap.
- Rippling is now supporting O'Brien in a lawsuit against Deel, who is countersuing Rippling for allegedly spying on them.
- O'Brien claims the incidents have caused emotional and psychological damage to him and his wife, affecting their sleep and concentration.
- He fears for the safety of his four children and hired a security consulting company to investigate.
- O'Brien speculated that the incidents might be harassment related to his role as a witness.
- Despite O'Brien linking the men to Deel, there is no evidence tying them together.
- During the legal proceedings, Deel denied any knowledge of the men following O'Brien.
