Solana Labs co-founder Stephen Akridge is facing a lawsuit that accuses him of withholding "millions of dollars" from his ex-wife's bonuses following a divorce agreement.

Solana Labs co-founder Stephen Akridge is being sued in a San Francisco court by his ex-wife, Elisa Rossi, who claims he withheld “millions of dollars” worth of cryptocurrency accumulated in staking rewards from Solana (Sol) Symbols.

According to Rossi, Akridge gave her control of three cryptocurrency wallets as part of the divorce agreement, according to court documents first. I mentioned By Law.com. However, Akridge allegedly kept the collection rewards for himself by directing SOL tokens to addresses under his control. Rossi says she found out two months after the divorce was finalized in March.

“(…) Without Ms. Rossi’s knowledge, Mr. Akridge took advantage of the significant disparity in cryptocurrency and blockchain experience he had as a co-founder of Solana, and merely granted Ms. Rossi’s Solana wallet authority over three accounts containing Solana tokens.”

Rossi claims that when she asked for rewards, Akridge refused, even taunting her, saying, “Good luck getting those rewards from me,” the report states. The case includes allegations of fraud, breach of contract and unjust enrichment.

Rossi is seeking a court order for actual and compensatory damages, an amount that will be determined at trial. It also seeks punitive or exemplary statutory damages, as well as pre-judgment and post-judgment interest at the maximum statutory rate.
