Lawsuit Claims ConsenSys Stole Idea for MetaMask Wallet

Joel Dietz, an entrepreneur, has filed a lawsuit against ConsenSys, accusing the Ethereum-focused developer firm of excluding him from the history of MetaMask and stealing his share of its success. Dietz claims that he created the intellectual property that became MetaMask in 2014 with his project called Vapor. ConsenSys denies Dietz's claims and states that he is falsely marketing himself as the founder of MetaMask.
