TPG Capital Sues Former Spokesman For Leaking Info

Former spokesman and public affairs executive Adam Levine was also a New York Times informant, TPG Capital claims in a lawsuit. The suit claims Levine was upset when he wasn’t given a promotion, and made threats to the company, eventually accessing confidential information and sharing it with media outlets, including the U.S. newspaper of record. Levine’s representative told The Wall Street Journal that he is denying charges, and claims he was “dismissed because he had alerted TPG senior management to serious issues of noncompliance and defrauding its investors,” and that the company’s efforts are “a blatant and shameful attempt to discredit a whistleblower.”
