Unveiled: Identity of Group Linked to Controversial Evolution Report Revealed; However, Doubts Persist
Scoop: Evolution Nears the Reveal of Mystery Firm Behind 2021's Damaging Report, but Questions Remain Unanswered
The thrilling legal saga between Evolution and the elusive entity behind a 2021 report, which caused the company a multi-billion financial setback, is edging closer to a resolution, albeit with unanswered questions yet to be addressed. A New Jersey court has ordered the law firm, Calcagni & Kanefsky LLP (C-K), representing Black Cube, to disclose the names of the authors, who are now known to be associated with the Israeli-based private intelligence firm, Black Cube.
Evolution Gets a Taste of Justice but Craves More
Although Evolution may have tasted victory with the disclosure of Black Cube's involvement in the report, they are yet to find out who ordered the report in the first place. Black Cube could merely be serving as a hired gun in this matter, and the true intention and the people behind it still elude Evolution.
The report, made public in 2021, sent shockwaves through investors, causing a $3 billion loss in the company's valuation. The report alleged that Evolution had links with illegal offshore gambling websites, targeting jurisdictions where they already had contracts and licensed operations. Subsequent investigations cleared Evolution of these accusations set by the anonymous accuser.
The unmasking of Black Cube is a crucial step in Evolution's quest for justice, but several questions remain unanswered, such as who mandated the report, and who stands to benefit from Evolution's legal woes.
C-K Complies, But Evolution Remains Relentless in its Pursuit
C-K, representing Black Cube, has confirmed that it will comply with the court order and provide further information once it receives the necessary data from Black Cube.[1] This information will encompass the identities of those responsible for the report. Among the Black Cube employees implicated are Alex Gorelik, Head of Investigations, Romy Martin, General Counsel, and Dr. Avi Yanus, Director.
However, Evolution wouldn't rest on its laurels and is accusing C-K of discovery process violations and prejudicial delay.[2] The company is still far from confronting its accuser face-to-face as they continue their pursuit for the identity of the anonymous entity behind the report.
