Ethereum Foundation sued by ex-employee over dismissal following cancer diagnosis

The Ethereum Foundation faces a lawsuit from Kayleen Fulton, a former protocol support team lead, who claims she was dismissed after disclosing a cancer diagnosis and opposing a controversial staff mandate. The legal complaint, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado on November 4, also names Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and four additional individuals as defendants. Fulton, recognized in the Ethereum community by the nickname “Nixo,” alleges that she was terminated on April 6, just 13 days after informing management of her medical condition. According to the filing, Bastian Aue, who served as the foundation’s co-executive director at the time, dismissed Fulton. The lawsuit claims that Buterin, as a board member, endorsed and enforced the mandate in question, contributing to the decision.
