 Litigation

 

On February 11, 2022, a Complaint and Demand for Jury Trial (the “Complaint”) was filed by a plaintiff (the “Plaintiff”) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The Complaint named Mastermind, Inc. (“the Company”) and Daniel Dodson, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, (the “CEO”). The Company and the CEO are collectively referred to herein as “Defendants”. The Complaint includes alleged breach of contract and alleged breach of implied contract by the Defendants related to the Plaintiff’s allegations that he was entitled to 3,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company from the reverse merger transaction completed on February 14, 2018. The Defendants successfully had the Complaint transferred to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. 

 

In September of 2023, the court dismissed in part the breach of contract claims against the CEO and the Company. The alleged breach of implied contract by the Defendants is pending further litigation. The Defendants will contest the complaint and strongly believe they will prevail.

 

As of March 11, 2024 Mastermind was successful at getting the lawsuit dismissed. On March 8, 2024 Cimino’s attorney filed a stipulation of dismissal with prejudice, and the clerk accepted the stipulation and dismissed and closed the case. The dismissal with prejudice (as opposed to without) would make it extremely difficult, if not impossible for Cimino to revive an action against Mastermind based upon the same facts/transactions.
