A former employee of the Ethereum Foundation filed a lawsuit against the foundation and Vitalik Buterin.
Cailin Fulton (Nixo), former head of protocol support at the Ethereum Foundation, filed a lawsuit in federal court in Colorado against six defendants, including the Vitalik Buterin Foundation.
Fulton claims she was fired on April 6 after disclosing her ovarian cancer diagnosis and helping organize a letter from 53 employees opposing the Ethereum Foundation's mandate.
The lawsuit claims the dismissals are revenge for the employee's actions and health discrimination.
The materials also mention a recording of a conversation in which Buterin allegedly expressed concern that employees could influence the organization's decisions, creating public conflicts.
