Sam Altman Seeks Dismissal of Punitive Damages in Sister’s Lawsuit
Altman says Missouri law bars punitive damages and seeks a $1 verdict as he denies allegations in his sister’s abuse lawsuit.
- On Wednesday, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman asked a St. Louis federal court to strike punitive damages from Annie Altman's lawsuit, arguing Missouri law limits recovery to "damages for injury or illness."
- Annie Altman accused Sam Altman of sexual abuse and rape between 1997 and 2006, though he claims she began social media accusations only after they rejected her demand for "greater and greater financial support."
- Seeking to disprove her claims, Sam Altman is countersuing for defamation; he requested $1 in damages, stating he "does not want to harm his sister financially" but needs a verdict that her statements are untrue.
- If the court grants the dismissal, Annie Altman's potential monetary recovery and bargaining leverage would be reduced, while OpenAI partner Microsoft remains a named defendant in the ongoing litigation.
- Sam Altman faces a scheduled April 27 trial in fellow billionaire Elon Musk's more than $134 billion lawsuit, which accuses OpenAI of departing from its mission to benefit humanity.
