He references this [1] which doesn't talk at all about [2], but does give some interesting connections to Florida and the shell company he allegedly set up to steal trade secrets from a competitor (it was eventually settled out of court after the judge found the suit eligible under the civil portion of RICO [3]) Rumor on the street is the settlement was about equal to one entire mega round of funding that Palantir's took around that time [4]. It must have worked though, they've been bought out by private equity and had more than a billion dollars pumped into them to keep them afloat and growing. 1 - http://www.forbes.com/sites/quora/2012/09/18/how-did-shyam-sankar-join-palantir/ http://www.forbes.com/sites/quora/2012/09/18/how-did-shyam-s... 2 - http://www.scribd.com/doc/36371667/i2-v-palantir-080910 http://www.scribd.com/doc/36371667/i2-v-palantir-080910 3 - http://www.phibetaiota.net/2010/10/journal-palantir-flush-with-cash-sued-for-racketeering/ http://www.phibetaiota.net/2010/10/journal-palantir-flush-wi... 4 - https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/palantir-technologies#/entity https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/palantir-technologie...
