He was a company founder and partial owner, and had to be stripped of his voting power and title in order to get to firing him. Something they managed to do in a span of hours. It was very shady and almost certainly illegal. He sued them for it, and won big.

What the hell. Rank sociopathy. At least the good guy won in the end.

Reminds me of some id software exec blatantly lying about Mick Gordon on reddit over the Doom Eternal soundtrack. I'm not sure how that ended up, but almost everything he tried to pin on Mick for delaying the project was knowingly false. And the Eternal soundtrack still isn't officially out, so I can't add The Only One They Fear Is You to any playlists.
