Former Ethereum Foundation employee Kayleen Fulton has taken the EF and Vitalik Buterin to court.
According to public records on CourtListener, the former head of the Protocol Support team filed a lawsuit on November 4 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado. The defendants include EF-affiliated entities, co-executive director Bastian Aue, and Vitalik Buterin. The claims include violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Family and Medical Leave Act. The complaint says that on March 24, she informed management in writing that she had been diagnosed with ovarian cancer, and that the next day she led 53 employees in signing a joint letter opposing the EF’s Mandate, which required all staff to sign a pledge containing a “seppuku” suicide clause.
· What has been confirmed is the filing date, court, list of defendants, and the two claims; the alleged link between her dismissal and diagnosis is currently only the plaintiff’s account in the complaint.
· The material does not mention a response from the EF or provide a case schedule.
Are you more interested in the composition of the list of defendants, or the evidentiary requirements for the two claims?
