That led to the man allegedly being assaulted. The plaintiff in this case is known as John Doe. He explained that in March 2023, a man threatened to kill Mr. Doe if he did not pay $500,000 to Gadoon Kyrollos. A commonly known professional sports bettor who goes by \u201cSpanky\u201d. Doe has a VIP account on DraftKings and he says his information was leaked. That\u2019s despite him trying to warn DraftKings about his account being in jeopardy. Mr. Doe claims that DraftKings told him there would be increased security on his account.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, DraftKings stated on Tuesday that they\u2019re trying to get this case dismissed in the next few days. They had this to say.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">DraftKings has found no evidence of anyone at DraftKings providing plaintiff\u2019s information to a third-party, and DraftKings denies acknowledging any such \u2018security breach\u2019. Nor has DraftKings uncovered any improper activity by a DraftKings employee, or any activity on plaintiff\u2019s account, relating to the allegedly unauthorized change of the email address associated with plaintiff\u2019s DraftKings account.\u201d <\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><b>The John Doe in this case may be the filing attorney <\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> SBC Americas<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, the filing attorney Steve Jacobs may be the John Doe in this case. Mr. Jacobs was sued by a man named Oscar Jones for allegedly defrauding him out of almost $500,000. This was due to a prior agreement where Jones gave money to Jacobs to win at DraftKings. Then, the two men would split the winnings that Jacobs made. Jacobs told Jones that his DraftKings account was suspended and he was unwilling to sign the paperwork needed to get their payout.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Since the attack, Mr.Jacobs has not lived the same way. He\u2019s in constant fear, even when he\u2019s inside his own home. His life in New York has changed drastically. The police advised Jacobs to not go outside alone at night time or in remote areas. Additionally, he\u2019s had to use alternate entrances and exits in his daily life. He claims to still be suffering from \u201csevere emotional damage\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>DraftKings would not say how Jacobs\u2019 information was leaked <\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">An email from DraftKings support stated that they received a request to change Mr. Jacob\u2019s account email address. That happened on October 2, 2023. There was no real reason for the request to be granted. Suggesting that either someone manually let this happen or DraftKings is neglecting their company procedures.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Long Island City, a man is accusing DraftKings of leaking his information.
