🧠2️⃣ The Journalist Tip-Off & The Bait
📅 February 2025: A journalist from The Information contacts Rippling.
📰 He has proof that Rippling is involved in sanctions violations—with screenshots from private Slack channels!

💡 Rippling realizes there’s a mole and decides to trap him:
🎣 They mention a fake Slack channel in emails with Deel’s lawyers.
⏳ Within HOURS, the spy accesses the fake channel.

💥 Caught red-handed! They confirm he’s working for Deel.

🧠3️⃣ Sanctions, Leaks & Poaching
🔍 The spy searches “Russia” 9 times a day, along with “Belarus,” “OFAC,” and “sanctioned.”
🤔 His goal? To find proof of Rippling’s involvement in sanction violations and leak it to journalists.

💼 Besides stealing data, Deel aggressively poached Rippling’s biggest clients—using the spy’s insider info.
🎯 Deel also recruited Rippling employees using personal contacts provided by the mole.

🏢 The order is delivered in Rippling’s Dublin office.

🚪 The spy runs to the bathroom, locks himself in, and wipes his phone!
😱 Then he casually walks out, saying: “I’m willing to take that risk!”
🏃‍♂️ And… disappears from the office!

🧠 Yesterday might have been “Pi Day,” a holiday some joke was made up by mathematicians to “sell more math.” ™
🤔 But since math isn’t something you sell, let’s just appreciate the most beautiful equation in mathematics once more. Does it give you goosebumps?
🧠 Every time I see it, I wonder—what could possibly be the relationship between the square root of negative one, the base of natural logarithms, the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter, and the concepts of “nothing” and “something”? (Okay, I’m probably overdoing it with pseudo-philosophical philology here, but it’s hard to resist!)
✨ Euler’s identity is truly a gem. Explaining it? No way, that would spoil the magic. Those in the know, know; those who don’t can always turn to Google. Why ruin the mystery?
🌌 What’s even more fascinating is that this equation would probably make sense to any sufficiently advanced alien—every number here is absolutely fundamental. Any engagement with mathematics would inevitably lead to them, one way or another.
