In a heated legal dispute, Michael Hermalyn, a Fanatics executive, has responded to allegations made by his former employer, DraftKings. DraftKings has accused Hermalyn of stealing trade secrets for his new role at Fanatics. This case has sparked significant attention, with Hermalyn and Fanatics labeling the lawsuit as 'character assassination'. The controversy stems from DraftKings' claim of corporate espionage, which has led to a bitter legal battle. The situation escalated when Hermalyn filed an opposition to DraftKings' injunction in Massachusetts federal court, defending himself against the accusations. The case highlights the intense competition between DraftKings and Fanatics, especially as 186 individuals have applied to Fanatics over three years, according to a claim by a former DraftKings executive who alleges that the company tarnished his reputation for leaving.
