“IAC and Match are showing the world the cost of suing them - they will rummage through your personal emails, make up lies, file frivolous lawsuits and do everything else they can to distract from the actual facts,” Orin Snyder, the lawyer representing Rad and his co-defendants, said in a statement. 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 - was called flawed by Rad’s lawyers, who also said the countersuit amounts to retaliation. “These recordings involve a shocking invasion of privacy and a fundamental lack of honestly and business ethics,” IAC’s attorneys wrote in the filing.Īttorneys for Rad responded with a motion to dismiss the amended claim, arguing that the recordings and transfers of company files did not violate the terms of his employment, though some may have violated California law. 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.
