[cRazY_oDs]

yo ppl huge update on that DraftKings/Fanatics legal battle! just dropped that they reached settlement over that VIP exec situation!

quick breakdown of what went down:​

​

DraftKings exec (Hermalyn) moved to Fanatics
massive legal battle over trade secrets
non-compete agreement drama
multiple lawsuits in different states
FINALLY settled today!

key points:​

​

settlement terms staying confidential
Hermalyn still at Fanatics (heading LA office)
gotta follow "contractual commitments" to DraftKings
all lawsuits getting dismissed
12-month restrictions from original court still apply

why this matters:​

​

shows how serious VIP client info is
non-compete agreements actually enforceable
companies protecting trade secrets HARD
industry taking client data super serious

wild how this played out fr fr... started right before Super Bowl, took almost year to resolve!
betting industry getting CRAZY competitive - anyone else notice how hard these companies fighting over VIP clients lately???

They spent millions fighting over VIP lists that'll be outdated in 6 months anyway

Financial analysis suggests legal costs exceeded $3M. ROI questionable given settlement terms.

This whole thing exposed how much these companies know about their players. Kind of scary tbh.

The real concern should be the precedent this sets for employee mobility in the industry
