Legal proceedings

Lintz is named as a defendant in a federal civil action filed on January 6, 2026, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, Case No. 3:26-cv-00080-GPC-BJW. The complaint asserts claims under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), 18 U.S.C. sections 1961 through 1968.

According to the complaint, Lintz is alleged to have participated in an enterprise connected to TopDevz LLC during and after his tenure as Chief Operating Officer. The plaintiffs characterize the alleged scheme as involving a pattern of fraudulent transactions over approximately eight years. The specific allegations concerning Lintz relate to his operational roles at both TopDevz and TalentCrowd.

As of early 2026, the case remains pending. Lintz has not been criminally charged in connection with these allegations, and the claims in the civil complaint remain unproven. All defendants are presumed to have denied the material allegations.
