Os cofundadores da Gala Games, uma plataforma de jogos Web3 e blockchain, travaram uma batalha por causa de dois processos separados, um alegando o roubo de cerca de $130 milhões em tokens GALA e o outro alegando desperdício corporativo. O token de jogo caiu quase 9% nas últimas horas depois que os cofundadores travaram uma briga no tribunal.
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, alegado que no início de 2021, Thurston e sua empresa de investimentos, True North United Investments, foram responsáveis por roubando 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 Tokens GALA pertencia a ele.
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 arquivado 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.”
