The suit, filed Tuesday in Hinds County Circuit Court, seeks compensatory and punitive damages. Listed as defendants are KiOR CEO Fred Cannon, former president of strategy Andre Ditsch, board of directors member Gary Whitlock, venture capital firm Khosla Ventures, firm founder Vinod Khosla and managing partner Samir Kaul.
