Solana co-founder accused of hiding millions in staking rewards in divorce settlement with ex-wife
ChainCatcher news, according to DLNews, Solana co-founder Stephen Akridge is accused of hiding millions of dollars in staking rewards during his "bitter" divorce from ex-wife Elisa Rossi. Rossi has filed a lawsuit in California state court seeking the withheld staking rewards. The couple's marriage lasted nearly a decade, during which they accumulated significant wealth, primarily from Akridge's founding role at Solana Labs.According to the lawsuit, Rossi claims the divorce process was "long and contentious." As part of the divorce agreement, she was entitled to a share of the profits from SOL tokens, but Akridge did not hand over the staking rewards, resulting in her losing "millions of dollars." After learning that Akridge had concealed these staking rewards, Rossi reached out to him multiple times requesting their return, but received indifferent responses.
