Newcomer to the legal sports betting industry is backing its new VIP lead Michael Hermalyn in a nasty legal battle.

In the latest between two feuding sportsbook operators, Fanatics is accusing DraftKings of a"culture of retribution" in a Thursday court filing.

In a court filing, Hermalyn’s team submitted a new legal brief in U.S. District Court in Massachusetts alleging that DraftKings is making “over-the-top accusations - that are directly contrary to the evidence and DK’s own internal records.” The filing also states that 186 DraftKings employees have applied for a job at Fanatics since 2021 when Fanatics announced it was launching its online sportsbook. This new legal move asks the court to deny DraftKings’ recent request for a preliminary injunction against Hermalyn, which the Boston-based operator submitted earlier in March.

Is this a case of alleged corporate espionage, which is what DraftKings is calling the messy situation, or is this all just a “fabrication” of a “salacious narrative” like Fanatics claims it to be?
