Former Ethereum Fund Official Sues EF and Vitalik Buterin, Alleging Retaliatory Firing Over Mandate Dispute.
According to a complaint filed in the US District Court for Colorado on November 4, former head of Ethereum Foundation Protocol Support Kaylin Fulton (Nixo) sued six defendants, including Ethereum Foundation entities and co-founder Vitalik Buterin, alleging termination of compensation and disability discrimination. Fulton claims she was fired on April 6 after disclosing an ovarian cancer diagnosis and helping organize a letter signed by 53 employees opposing mandatory approval of the Ethereum fund mandate. The complaint also cites a recorded conversation in which Butrin allegedly expressed concern that employees could influence organizational decisions by creating controversy. The allegations were not proven in court.
