Android creator Andy Rubin accused of running a sex ring

India Today  

Android creator Andy Rubin has been accused of defrauding his wife out of millions of dollars via a prenuptial agreement and running a sex ring, according to civil complaint documents unsealed recently by a California court in connection with a separate case. The court documents first shared by BuzzFeed News' Ryan Mac allege that Andy Rubin and his former lawyer Stephen Peters conspired to defraud Rie Hirabaru Rubin by convincing her to sign a prenuptial agreement that barred her from sharing a part of her husband's financial gains. Rie Rubin, in her complaint, has alleged that Andy diverted funds from their joint account and open a separate bank account shortly before leaving Google in October 2014 to receive his earnings. Meanwhile, Andy Rubin's lawyer has reacted to the development saying that it is a family dispute full of false claims.
