Gene Zawrotny’s complaint and arbitration history

analysisZawrotny’s complaint says he accepted the revenue-chief role December 27, 2023, began January 2, 2024 and was fired April 18 after 107 days. He alleges retaliation for compliance reports, including roughly 30% of approximately 10,000 purchasing customers being unaccredited, undisclosed markups sometimes above 150% and failure to describe the product as vehicle units. He attributes price increases to an algorithm starting at 30–35% markups. These are plaintiff allegations, distinct from audited counts and later indictment figures. The later procedural summary records arbitration compelled June 9, 2025 and a stay, without deciding retaliation, those percentages or disclosure claims. ^{1 2}

analysisHis complaint describes Sarris as both CEO and chairman in the relevant 2024 period, conflicting with company announcements naming Endoso CEO. Those dated accounts remain distinct. Zawrotny’s earlier Forge employment is biographical context and does not establish Forge’s participation in the alleged Linqto conduct. ¹

analysisThe retained docket aggregation reports that the court granted defendants’ motion to compel arbitration and stayed the court action June 9, 2025. A July 25 notice invoking a bankruptcy stay was opposed by Zawrotny August 1. These procedural filings did not answer every substantive allegation, and no arbitration award or merits judgment is retained. The aggregation states that its court data were last updated June 8, 2026 and lists a September 24 conference as future-scheduled, not proof it occurred. The procedural account comes from that aggregation rather than the full signed order. ¹
