Lawsuit Alleges Sony Said WPP Ran a Global Crime Scene
A lawsuit says Sony shared a 2025 analysis with WPP describing its media operation as a “global crime scene” across markets including China. The complaint alleges WPP engineered rebate-related use of clients’ ad budgets to boost its profits without consent, designed by senior executives. It also claims former executive Foster was fired after raising kickback concerns and seeks at least $100 million in damages.
