Les cofondateurs de Gala Games, une plateforme de jeu Web3 et blockchain, se sont engagés dans une bataille autour de deux poursuites distinctes, l'une alléguant le vol de près de $130 millions de jetons GALA et l'autre alléguant le gaspillage de l'entreprise. Le jeton de jeu s'est écrasé près de 9% au cours des dernières heures après que les cofondateurs se soient battus devant les tribunaux.

It is important to note that the co-founders of Gala Games, Wright Thurston and Eric Schiermeyer, filed a lawsuit against one another on August 31 in a Utah District Court. Interestingly, the gaming firm’s CEO, Schiermeyer, allégué qu'au début de 2021, Thurston et sa société d'investissement, True North United Investments, étaient responsables de vol close to $130 million worth of a token tied to the gaming firm’s ecosystem.

Schiermeyer claims that Thurston moved the tokens to a wallet that was under the firm’s control, and later, the tokens were transferred to 43 other wallets by Thurston. When the CEO confronted Thurston regarding the movements, he stated that he was holding the tokens in his wallet for safety purposes. 

The lawsuit pointed out that the tokens were moved from the wallets and exchanged or sold in a “complex web of obfuscatory transactions” between September 2022 and May 2023. Interestingly, the lawsuit added that Thurston first did not acknowledge the presence of the tokens, while later adding that the Jetons GALA lui appartenait. 

On the other hand, Thurston is also accused of having stolen licenses to run Gala ecosystem nodes, selling the licenses, and keeping the proceeds. On the very same day, Thurston’s True North déposé a lawsuit against Schiermeyer, adding that he caused Gala to “sell off and waste millions of dollars in company assets” and lent millions of the firm’s funds to himself for personal purchases.

Interestingly, Schiermeyer is accused of operating the gaming platform without input from Thurston, who is a director at the firm, while giving incomplete or incorrect information and corporate records to Thurston “despite repeated requests.”
