Solana (SOL) co-founder Steven Akridge has been sued by his ex-wife for allegedly pocketing millions of dollars illicitly.
According to Cointelegraph on the 30th, Akridge's ex-wife Elisa Rossi filed a lawsuit against him in a San Francisco court on the 24th. Rossi claims that Akridge used her Solana to collect staking (crypto asset deposit) rewards worth millions of dollars.
Akridge and Rossi divorced in March this year. At that time, they agreed to divide the ownership of Solana they owned. However, according to the complaint filed by Rossi, Akridge staked Rossi's Solana tokens and received rewards worth millions of dollars. Rossi stated, "I found out about this in May."
