Legal Matters

 

In 2008 the Company filed suit against its former co-founder, President, Chief Executive Officer George Pursglove for breach of confidentiality and non-compete while employed and also postemployment, breach of fiduciary duty and other matters, and the Company was seeking to enforce certain non-compete agreements. The former CEO subsequently counter-sued the Company for breach of contract, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and other matters. The former CEO was seeking to be awarded $75,000 in cash plus at least 3.3 million shares of stock of the Company. On July 28, 2011, the Company received a jury verdict ordering and adjudging in Case Number 2:08-cv-00496-KJD-LRL where BOOMj.com was the Plaintiff and the former CEO was the Defendant & Counterclaimant, that a judgment be entered in favor of the Defendant and Counterclaimant against the Plaintiff, BOOMj.com, in the amount of $20,775 for damages as to the claim for failure to pay wages, $3,000,000 for damages as to the conversion claim, and $3,000,000 for punitive damages. This judgement was forgiven during the third quarter 2019 and the relative liabilities were extinguished. As of September30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 there was an outstanding principle balance of $0 and $5,758,332, respectively outstanding for this matter. The debt was forgiven by the Pursglove Estate, after it had been determined that it was in the best interest of the estate to not exhaust its resources in accordance with the required collection efforts.
