Elisa Rossi has taken legal action against her ex-husband, Solana co-founder Stephen Akridge, accusing him of profiting from her digital assets without her permission.
The lawsuit, filed in San Francisco’s Superior Court on December 24, alleges that Akridge earned “millions of dollars” in staking rewards from Solana
The couple finalized their divorce in March, with an agreement dividing their shared assets, including cryptocurrency. However, Rossi claims that Akridge used his greater knowledge of blockchain technology to maintain control over her portion of the tokens.

According to the lawsuit, Akridge allowed Rossi access to three accounts containing the tokens, but he kept the ability to stake them and collect the rewards.
Rossi alleges she sent “no less than a dozen” text messages asking about the rewards to Akridge between May and December, but she did not receive a positive response.
