**This is warning about** SandboxAQ stocks to prospective investors as we hear the CEO and CxOs, along with some Advisers, [are planning to cash out on their stocks in Secondary Markets in](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/avrahammadler_requesting-a-loan-amount-of-50m-usd-secured-activity-7412390075726086144-fvIz?utm_source=social_share_send&utm_medium=member_desktop_web&rcm=ACoAAAAyRXUB0PsPhjKFIPMqRTeRSaLYZSZg4-0) **the face of a public lawsuit (more Class Action lawsuits to follow) and possible SEC investigation**.
I am an ex-employee of SandboxAQ. Joined them as I was starry eyed to work for a company chaired by the legendary Eric Schmidt. I have been a witness to abominable things that happens in that company in the name of "innovation", starting off with deliberate fraud to customers and partners with fake demos orchestrated by the CEO, Head of Engineering at that time, The Head of Business, Sales Management and the GMs of products. Much have been written on and [beyond Reddit about this culture, notably by The Information journalist Michel Roddan.](https://www.theinformation.com/articles/lavish-spending-weak-growth-engulf-billionaire-backed-ai-startup-sandboxaq)
**Just as a recap**: T[he CEO and CFO has stolen many of our employees stock options that they had promised](https://www.reddit.com/r/QuantumComputingStock/comments/1mpcy9a/unholy_ongoings_at_google_spinoff_sandboxaq/), depriving them of selling the options vested in their CARTA accounts, has a history of sexual harassment, stalking and intimidation. Finally after being abused, mentally tortured, and being dehumanized, his ex-Chief of Staff have come out with a public lawsuit.
[The company came out of Google with a lot of celebrity investors and employed some seriously smart people with PhD etc but, as time unfolded, showed that had no intention of building any product](https://www.reddit.com/r/QuantumComputingStock/comments/1po9f1i/sandboxaq_deep_dive_58b_valuation_vs_operational/). Despite the massive cash raise, they kept the headcount down under 200 to a total of researcher, developer, marketing and sales for 5 different products. Its an impossibility because they also advertize products that do not exist today, needs to be researched, validated, tested, engineered, certified, standardized and productized. To do all that for five different product lines with a total headcount of 200 is impossible.
We have reported previously on Reddit that multiple occasions of predatory sexual assaults have been covered up in this company and the victims fired from their jobs. Anyone who spoke up against lying to customers and wanted to actively improve product quality by creating internal agile processes, were taken out of discussion groups, isolated and laid off under "reconstructing" clause. They'd get the then Head of Engineering, Product Management, GM, etc. gang up on them, stir up internal politics with lies and eventually get rid of them. All to protect their own jobs and to protect how poor the products really are from the CXO eyes.
[Public Court Documents for the lawsuits](https://webapps.sftc.org/ci/CaseInfo.dll?&SessionID=6A5FAAC00D93260E41D5CBFC832BF97B76E92B81): For anyone interested in reading the actual court files ( some bits of the public version are redacted) , and type in **CGC-25-631667** in the search box for case file no. There are a couple, you want the one with S**B Technology**.and maximum filing size (45 pages). Out opens a Pandora’s box of bullying, sexual harassment , firsthand insider account of investor fraud and employee deprivation.
Following is some excerpts and summaries from the lawsuit, information that is publicly avaialble. Names, that are mentioned in the court documents, have been taken out as a show of respect to the victim and his plight:
**Superior Court of the State of California, San Francisco, Case No. 25-631667**
>Some excerpts from the publicly available document where SB tech CEO, Jack Hidary and VP of HR Suzannah Radack have been explicitly named as defendants.
>1) This action arises from Defendant SandboxAQ’s retaliatory termination of Plaintiff XXXXX because he fulfilled his fiduciary and legal duties by objecting to, and reporting internally, severe misconduct at the $5.8 billion technology company. Specifically, Mr.
>XXXXX **refused to remain silent regarding the following**:
>(1) suspected false and fraudulent investor disclosures that potentially misrepresented over $550 million in transactions; and
>(2) CEO JJJJJ’s misuse of corporate assets to pay for and conceal personal, sex-based misconduct. To advance this misconduct, Defendant JJJJJ imposed a demeaning servant dynamic that constituted unwelcome harassment that targeted Plaintiff on the basis of his sex and sexual orientation and subjected him to coercive directives.
>2. Mr. XXXXX’s refusal to function as a quiet facilitator of these governance failures was met with immediate retaliation. His final protected disclosure–concerning material deficiencies in a $95 million tender offer through which Defendant sought to liquidatepersonal stock–was met with the dismissal: “We’re too small to be investigated.” Less than 24 hours after Mr. XXXXX’s final internal report, Defendants (CEO, CFO and VP of HR) terminated him. In a further act of retaliation, Defendants falsely claimed Plaintiff was a “leaker,” despite the fact that, five days prior to termination, Defendant Hidary personally inspected Plaintiff’s phone and confirmed Plaintiff had not communicated with the press. This pretext was manufactured to remove the sole internal obstacle to Hidary’s multimillion dollar personal cash-out.
>3. The termination was followed by threats to destroy Mr. XXXX’s career (plaintiff) and reputation. After his termination, the retaliation escalated into a malicious, ongoing post termination campaign personally orchestrated by CEO JJJJJ to discredit Mr. XXXXX and destroy his career. This campaign involved publishing false and defamatory statements to prominent investors and technology leaders, actively deterring potential employers from hiring or collaborating with Mr. XXXXX, and unlawfully interfering with his ability to secure new employment.
>4. During his tenure, he (plaintiff) played a key role in the company’s $475 million Series E financing, negotiated and led transformative partnerships with Google and NVIDIA, represented the Company at elite global forums including the World Economic Forum in Davos and Future Investment Initiative in Riyadh, and took full ownership of more than $40 million in complex external contract negotiations. He was regularly entrusted to engage with heads of state, sovereign wealth leaders, Fortune 50 executives, and globally influential investors, and he was offered a promotion just four days before his termination.
>When he (plaintiff) declined to sign a one-sided separation agreement that would have silenced him forever, Defendant Hidary orchestrated a scorched earth campaign of character assassination. This included fabricating a “Girlfriend Conspiracy” to investors (falsely claiming Plaintiff was a leaker plotting with a journalist) and threatening to “burn his ass” on Plaintiff’s reputation to prevent him from working in Silicon Valley again. ...
>...
>11. **Defendant SB TECHNOLOGY, INC**. d/b/a SANDBOXAQ (“SandboxAQ” or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business in Palo Alto, California....
>12. Defendant JACK D. HIDARY (“Hidary”) is an individual residing in New York. At all relevant times, Hidary was and is the Chief Executive Officer of SandboxAQ. **Hidary is sued in his individual capacity for his personal participation in the wrongful acts alleged herein**, including making defamatory statements about Plaintiff, directing the retaliatory campaign against him, and unlawfully interfering with Plaintiff’s prospective economic relationships.
>13. Defendant **SUZANNAH RADACK** (“Radack”) is an individual residing in California. At all relevant times, Radack was VP of People and Operations for SandboxAQ. Radack is sued in her individual capacity for her personal participation in the retaliation against Plaintiff, including issuing threats to “paper” Plaintiff’s file to **cover up executive misconduct, aiding and abetting the hostile work environment, and implementing the Company’s retaliatory directives.**
B. The Hostile Work Environment: Misuse of Funds and the “Servant" Dynamic
> Beginning in August 2024, Mr. XXXXX became aware of serious misconduct by CEO Hidary and systemic governance failures at SandboxAQ.
>27. On August 13, 2024, Mr. XXXX made his first formal report to the Company's Human Resources representative, Suzannah Radack, regarding CEO Jack Hidary's inappropriate conduct toward one of Mr. XXXXs direct reports and other conduct that created a sexually hostile work environment. As detailed in the unredacted complaint, Mr. XXXXreported that Defendant **Hidary repeatedly used corporate assets-including investor funds, Company personnel, and logistical resources-to solicit, transport, and entertain female companions during Company business activities.**
Mr. XXXX observed the presence of such companions at Company events, Company-funded travel, and in work settings where these women had no legitimate business role. He further observed investor funds and corporate resources being misused to facilitate this conduct.
>Over more than ten months, these actions created a severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive work environment that altered the conditions of Mr. XXXX more than ten months, these actions created a severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive work environment that altered the conditions of Mr. XXXX's employment.
Mr.XXXX reported these issues to Human Resources (Suzannah Radack), Head of Legal (Sara Kasper), and CFO (David Silverman) more than a dozen times during his executive tenure. Mr.XXXX additionally reported these incidents to Human Resources representative Suzannah Radack again on April 7, 2025. In response to the many reports to Defendant Radack, Ms. Radack engaged in a pattern of shrugging ratification, acknowledging the "inappropriate" nature of the conduct while refusing to exercise her authority to stop it, thereby emboldening Defendant **Hidary to continue his harassment.**
Over the following months, as Mr. XXXX attempted to work with company leadership to address these concerns, he observed a pattern of retaliation beginning to emerge. **When board members or investors made inquiries about the reported issues, Hidary would immediately restrict Mr. XXXXXr's access to information and exclude him from meetings.**
[As reported before, the company steals from their employees too. None of us ex-employees were allowed to sell even the stock options vested in our CARTA account](https://www.reddit.com/r/QuantumComputingStock/comments/1mpcy9a/unholy_ongoings_at_google_spinoff_sandboxaq/) \- this post, the first about this toxic culture at this company, unfortunately has now been filtered out by moderator for reasons not understood by us employees. That post had over 700 responses, hundreds of thousands of views and thousands of shares. This should give the reader an inkling of how many lives this toxic company execs are affecting negatively to satisfy their own greed.
People are bullied nonstop, called up after 8 PM local time, yelled at by managers for stuff the person yelling has no clue about and an incompetent VP of HR facilitate this toxic culture.
**A warning to any prospective new employee**: You will be offered Stock Options which you will never receive because the CFO would never allow a sale for you in Secondary Market. They are trying to steal the stocks from ex-employees and enrich themselves by quietly selling in secondary markets.
