The plaintiff in a lawsuit against Epik and its management over a botched $327,000 domain deal has requested a US court to block the company from disposing of its assets and leaving.

Matthew Adkisson altered his fraud allegation to seek an injunction that would prevent the defendants from transferring or selling off his Escrow Funds and any other amounts they owed him. The amendment was prompted by tweets from current CEO Brian Royce that suggested Epik was disposing of its assets.
The lawsuit alleges that Epik illegally mingled its escrow funds with its general operations fund, and the amended complaint adds several citations from TrustPilot - other clients who claim Epik took their money without delivering the domain. While Epik admits owing Adkisson money, it denies any wrongdoing. After the amendment, Royce withdrew his motion to dismiss the case.
It is surprising how a single transaction can lead to a court case and threaten the future of a company. It is also worrying to see accusations of illegal mingling of funds and non-delivery of services by a company entrusted with such transactions. It is essential for all parties involved in financial transactions to be transparent and honest in their dealings to maintain trust.
