Are there even any allegations of illegal behaviour? And what is a "sex ring" anyway? Is it like a swingers club, or something more sinister?

Read the article: "As a complaint, the document is only an allegation and has not been confirmed by the court. Still, it echoes a number of details reported by the New York Times in October, including the allegation that Andy supported a string of mistresses, who would often be loaned to other men in what he described as “an ownership relationship.” The complaint alleges Andy had at least five such mistresses, including one (dubbed “M”) who was “complicit with Rubin in running what appeared to be a sex ring.” The complaint also alleges that Andy diverted joint funds in order to make personal payouts to a number of women, payouts consistent with the Times’ reporting. According to the complaint, he stopped depositing his Google paychecks in the couple’s joint account in February 2014, shortly after he left the company amid allegations of sexual misconduct. But Andy continued to be paid by the company, subject to his severance agreement, and simply had the deposits diverted to an individual account, which made hundreds of thousands of dollars in payments to other women."

  Basically, consensual, but with possible manipulation (thus the sexual misconduct allegations), possible violations of higher position cannot date lower position rules, possible financial malfeasance, yeah. Also, financial malfeasance seems to go hand-in-hand with sexual misconduct. Not everyone is guilty of one or the other, but the two show up together pretty frequently.

  I did read the article first, and what I meant was: is there any allegations of illegal behaviour in relation to what the blogs are all reporting on (i.e. the sex ring).

There's an allegation that his wife's attorney (who had, unknown to the wife, served as Rubin's attorney in his previous divorce) conspired with Rubin to fraudulently induce his wife to sign a ridiculously unfair ("unconscionable") pre-nup, which if proven will probably have bad consequences for the attorney and get the pre-nup thrown out.
