Hyperloop One's Shervin Pishevar Sues Political Group Over Smear Campaign

Venture capital investor Shervin Pishevar, the co-founder and Executive Chairman of Los Angeles-based Hyperloop One, has just filed a lawsuit alleging a political research group has been running a smear campaign against him. Pishevar filed the lawsuit in San Francisco against company Definers Public Affairs this week. Pishevar is no stranger to high profile lawsuits: he and Hyperloop One were in a legal back-and-forth with former executive and CTO Brogan BamBrogan in 2016, and he also has a lawsuit going against Benchmark Capital over board machinations at Uber where Pishevar also is an investor.
