A new lawsuit claims that Osom Products CEO Jason Keats has been using company money to fund trips, exotic cars, and his racing hobby.
Keats, who founded Osom after Essential shut down and hired several of Essential’s former workers, is also accused of using company resources to pay for things ranging from his racing habit to his racing partner’s salary to his own mortgage, the outlet writes. Ross has apparently asked the court to make Osom give her access to company records that may prove the lawsuit’s claims.
The lawsuit also reportedly claims that Keats tried and failed to sell the company to HP and that, after that deal fell through, he tried to get Osom to pivot to making an “AI-powered camera.” The company’s “resources are allegedly depleted.”
An unnamed spokesperson denied the lawsuit’s claims when asked by Android Authority.
