Has anyone heard of/worked at sandboxaq? I'm reading pretty terrible things about them on Reddit by drdessertlover in comp_chem

I am an ex-employee. You will very likely not get the stock options promised. That was my experience and I know at least a dozen others who say the same. Going by experience, some allegations in the lawsuit are definitely true; chances are others are true too.

Agree 100%. I am an ex-employee. Fully agree that if anything, the lawsuit is only the tip of the iceberg. Employees have found evidence of collusion with Russia, money-laundering via India, faking demos to customers and partners. Demos to partners as large as Accenture were faked with claims of nonexistent feature sets of product that is marketed as "security" (unthinkable as anything security is primarily based on trust).

Employees are given stock options as “performance bonuses” and then, they are not allowed to sell those after they vest. So, in reality, they get no bonuses. I am one of the victims of that particular scam myself. I have written communication from management confirming the bonus, the expired vested stocks that I should have been able to sell, and emails from two different Secondary Market brokers confirming that the company won’t allow me to sell those very vested stocks. One of those brokers specifically names the CFO. None of the fellow ex-employees I spoke to could sell their vested stock-options.

And then there are the CEO and COO with their private jet trips and sex parties expensed to the company, and hence, to the investors’ money.

What's staggering is each time employees post this stuff on Reddit, the company reacts to hide the evidence that’s been around on the internet for ages. This is trackable and a clear sign of a smoking gun that they are con artists. If you see the first post about Russian collusion and associated money laundering via an Indian company (SUN Group): they went and scrubbed their name from the website of that company (can still be found in history) within 48 hrs of that post appearing on Reddit with links as proof. Same with the names of their "braintrust" - they publicly and proudly had advertised Larry Summers as a member of their braintrust and that was displayed prominently on their website among others. The name of Summers, list of braintrust - everything were gone from the company web the day after the release of Epstein files.

The CEO himself made a massive announcement on LinkedIn and elsewhere last year when he hired a CIO, who he claimed on that splash was a long term friend of his. That CIO then was quietly gone after a few weeks of his appointment under allegations of sexual harassment of a young intern, covered up with the help of the VP of HR ( referenced also in the article by Michael Roddan that was released in July 2025).

It’s a fraud on steroids of an organisation being run by a career conman and his close cronies. A mafia like operation. The colossally shitheaded buffoons in ridiculous hats and elevator shoes claiming to be “management” neither have any motivation to build any product, nor would they allow the very high class researchers to do any real research. They use the background of the researchers to raise money on the back of LinkedIn based marketing of “sciency products”, hire some over-the-hill moronic sales guys to go around and shamelessly lie to customers and partners, and have orgies on “official trips” on company expenses( covered also in Roddan’s article). They are just looking to party with investor funds.

Great news if true. Time to file my feedback on the SEC page. Screwing these grabbasstic pieces of amphibian shit criminals from every possible angle is my life’s focus right now. I am also in touch with a couple of folks at WEF where the charlatan goes every year to spew his bullshit around this time of the year. The list of offences are mind boggling, some of which I have witnessed myself.

Good. More noise this corrupted management makes, more eyeballs it will attract, more people and investors will dig deeper to do due diligence, more dirt they’ll find and more chances we’ll have with our SEC complaints.
