Audioeye Inc - AEYE STOCK NEWS

AudioEye (AEYE) announced that the Supreme Court of New York has fully dismissed a lawsuit filed by former employee David J. Kovacs against the company, CEO David Moradi, and Board Chairman Carr Bettis. The lawsuit, which alleged stock manipulation and retaliation under New York Labor Law, was dismissed with prejudice, preventing refiling. The plaintiff also voluntarily abandoned defamation and tortious interference claims.

The company had previously filed its own lawsuit against Kovacs in Florida in April 2024 for defamation and other causes. According to AudioEye's complaint, Kovacs was terminated for cause after displaying irrational behavior and making threats to initiate a 'short and distort' scheme against the company's stock. Kovacs' motion to dismiss AudioEye's Florida lawsuit was denied, and the company continues to pursue its claims.
