Ex-Ethereum Foundation Staffer Sues Foundation and Vitalik Buterin Over Firing

Cointime update: Former Ethereum Foundation employee Kayleen Fulton, known online as “Nixo,” sued the Ethereum Foundation, its Singapore affiliate, management member Bastian Aue and co-founder Vitalik Buterin in Colorado on Nov. 4, alleging wrongful termination. The suit says Fulton was fired on April 6 after questioning the “EF Mandate” staff pledge published March 13, which included language about “falling on one’s sword” for unmet commitments. She also alleges disability discrimination and interference with medical leave, and seeks undisclosed damages and unpaid wages.
