Overview
- Palantir filed an expanded complaint in the Southern District of New York adding Percepta CEO Hirsh Jain to claims already lodged against former employees Radha Jain and Joanna Cohen.
- The suit cites messages about plans to recruit aggressively, including an alleged note from Hirsh Jain saying he was "down to pillage the best devs at palantir."
- Palantir says Percepta has hired at least 10 former employees and seeks the return of any company materials plus a 12‑month bar on working at Percepta or backer General Catalyst.
- Percepta and General Catalyst deny the accusations and say no confidential Palantir information was used, calling the claims baseless.
- Palantir shares slipped nearly 1% after the filing, and analysts noted a pending New York bill restricting non-competes could affect any employment restrictions the company seeks.
