‘Swingers and champagne’: Sexy secrets from new adult cruise Virgin Voyages It’s unclear if the transaction with the shell company was an attempt to take Hyperloop public, which the futuristic company tried to do just months earlier with the help of a special purpose acquisition company backed by Shaquille O’Neal. Hyperloop has failed to deliver for years now despite backing from Richard Branson — which had the company adopt the name Virgin Hyperloop One for a stint — and endorsements from Elon Musk. In Hyperloop’s early days, co-founder Brogan BamBrogan once arrived at work to find a noose on his chair, according to Bloomberg. And in 2017, its co-executive chairman Shervin Pishevar was slammed by a half-dozen sexual harassment and assault allegations, including rape at a swanky London hotel, from at least women — all of which he’s denied. It was Pishevar’s brother, Afshin Pishevar — who overstayed his welcome as BamBrogan’s house guest while visiting from his home in Washington to join the company as general counsel — that left the noose BamBrogan discovered on his office chair, Bloomberg reported. Hyperloop has been troubled for years now. In 2017, co-executive chairman Shervin Pishevar was engulfed by a half-dozen sexual harassment and assault allegations and stepped down.

Singer Antonia Jenae claimed the British billionaire stuck his face between her breasts and proceeded to “motorboat” her while at a 2010 party on the billionaire’s Necker Island in the Caribbean. “We were by the bar and he was saying bye to everyone. He came up to me and put his face in my breasts,” she told the London Sun at the time. “He went ‘brrrrrr’ and just walked away. It was surreal, totally out of the blue.” In Hyperloop’s early days, co-founder Brogan BamBrogan (left, with Shervin Pishevar) once arrived at work to find a noose on his chair, which was reportedly planted by Pishevar’s brother, according to Bloomberg.

A year after the sexual misconduct claims, one of Hyperloop’s directors, Russian billionaire Ziyavudin Magomedov, was arrested in Moscow on charges of fraud and embezzlement that were unrelated to his work with Hyperloop, according to Bloomberg. At the time, Magomedov’s lawyer said he was appealing the arrest. Hyperloop had grand plans to transport passengers from NYC to Washington, DC, in just 30 minutes, down from the typical journey of three hours and 30 minutes. ALI HAIDER/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock
