Deel has officially been served legal papers in a lawsuit filed by Rippling, ending weeks of attempts to serve Deel's executives. The process was complicated by the fact that Rippling's bailiffs were initially unable to locate Deel's CEO and top lawyer, who were reportedly in Dubai. The lawsuit from Deel includes a claim that building a global payroll provider requires "significant advances in quantum computing," a statement that has been criticized given the existence of large-scale payment systems like Visa, Mastercard, and ACH that operate without such technology.
