Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer CAA has accused a handful of former agents of betraying the agency by stealing confidential client information to form Range Media Partners, a rival management firm. In a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday, the powerhouse agency alleges that the agents spent months in 2020 sending volumes of CAA data — including clients’ ongoing and future projects, their branding strategies and business plans — to their personal email accounts and cell phones. The agents also downloaded Telegram, a private messaging app, to avoid being detected by CAA, the suit alleges.
