DraftKings has sued a former senior executive, alleging he stole the sports-betting site’s business plans for this Sunday’s Super Bowl and other confidential information to pass them to competitor Fanatics.
In a suit filed in federal court in Boston, DraftKings claims Michael Hermalyn, its former vice president of VIP management, downloaded the Super Bowl plans while he was secretly meeting with Fanatics chief executive Michael Rubin to negotiate his move to that company last week.
