Met and interviewed all senior management concerning the allegation that was reported in the media that Ethan Haskell, a DraftKings employee, was in possession of non-public information which could have been used to prepare and submit a lineup with FanDuel that won him $350K
2) Reviewed all documentation generated by the DraftKings internal inquiry and discussed the findings and analysis.
3)
Initiated a comprehensive and totally independent investigation of the allegation.
4)
Prepared an investigative plan to identify relevant individuals, electronic data and documents and relevant systems and applicable policies and procedures.
5)
Secured complete access to individuals, documents and systems at the Company and identified sources of information outside the company.
6)
Conducted comprehensive interviews of various individuals within the Company possessing relevant information, and certain individuals were interviewed multiple times as facts developed.
7)
All documents relevant to the investigation were reviewed, authenticated and considered. These include email correspondence, posts, computer generated data, electronic entries, etc. GT requested and received documentation from sources outside the Company.
They further concluded from the independent investigation that the DraftKings employee, Ethan Haskell, could not possibly
have entered the winning lineup based upon his receipt of the Company’s non-public aggregate ownership percentage information, because he did not receive that info until 40 minutes after the lineup was locked.
