Datavault AI founder Nathaniel Bradley has filed a lawsuit against the company's board, alleging that Chairman and Chief Financial Officer Brett Moyer engineered a coordinated weekend lockout and withheld a significant financing offer from independent directors, according to a court filing announced Wednesday in Wilmington, Delaware.
The complaint centers on a reported $90 million to $100 million financing offer that Bradley contends was deliberately kept from independent board members, a move he characterizes as a breach of fiduciary duty.
