The suit alleges that the Sekaicon organizers, as former Ohayocon staff members, misappropriated “confidential business information, and trade secrets” from Ohayocon.
The suit further alleges that the former Ohayocon staff members attempted to “extort” control of the convention from Cultural Exchange Society President Melissa Ann Phelps in a “fraudulent” attempt to organize the convention’s team.
While some staff members signed the COVEN manifesto, they were welcomed back to staff Ohayocon and are still part of the team.
According to Ohayocon, nine senior leadership members submitted their resignations in protest.
