Spy games: Zynga accused former employees of stealing data and poaching employees
Two high-ranking Zynga managers, leaving the company for Scopely, took with them to a new place data about the former employer and several colleagues.
Farmville authors are suing Massimo Maietti, Ehud Barlach and their current employer. Massimo worked at Zynga for five years as a creative director, and Ihud for more than three years in management positions.
Massimo Maetti and Ihuda Barlach The lawsuit has 28 pages.
His colleague Barlach is accused of the fact that after accepting the offer, Scopely himself offered the new employer to find new employees from his former colleagues, despite the fact that he formally still remained in the Zynga team. Massimo also engaged in poaching. Both of them took about six employees to a new place, some of whom also downloaded secret files in the last month of work.
Scopely is accused of misappropriating confidential data and of “third-party interference that was aimed at breaking the contract.”
