""We are going to tear apart HI. It's going to be the easiest thing to do." That's Brandon Sterri texting his brothers on January 29. According to the complaint, Brandon and his brother Brian were, at that moment, still drawing paychecks from Human Interest, still logging into their company-issued laptops every morning beneath reminders that access was "limited to authorized personnel," and that they'd agreed "to protect confidential data.""
"The complaint alleges a months-long scheme in which Brian and Brandon, working as junior inside sales representatives at Human Interest, systematically funneled their employer's most sensitive intelligence, including partnership leads, customer data, and internal strategy documents, directly to Guideline. But not just to anyone at Guideline; Human Interest alleges the brothers were sharing it directly with the company's chief executive, Kevin Busque, and its chief financial officer, Steven Wu."
Human Interest accuses Guideline of orchestrating a months-long corporate espionage scheme involving three Sterri brothers. Brandon and Brian allegedly siphoned partnership leads, customer data, and internal strategy documents from Human Interest while employed as junior inside sales representatives. The brothers allegedly shared the stolen intelligence directly with Guideline executives, including CEO Kevin Busque and CFO Steven Wu. One brother, Eirik, worked for Guideline while the others remained on Human Interest payroll and accessed company laptops marked for authorized personnel only. Text messages allegedly referenced a "Sterri Takeover" and boasted "We are going to tear apart HI." The dispute has escalated into federal litigation in Utah.
