R&CPMK claims 13 employees simultaneously resigned and took thousands of confidential files on their way out, handing 2PM Sharp a 'playbook' to steal clients.
The lawsuit alleges former R&CPMK CEO Mark Owens orchestrated the mass departure to 'jumpstart' his new venture, breaching non-compete agreements.
