From Gamasutra:

Michael Wilson, a former executive for the now-defunct Ion Storm, has sued publishing company Random House over statements made in the non-fiction book Masters of Doom, which Random House published in 2003. The book, written by David Kushner, alleges that Wilson took out a secret loan from company finances to buy a new BMW; Wilson argues that the loan was not a secret. Wilson, currently raising funds for his new Gamecock Media Group publishing company, is seeking $50 million in actual damages as well as further punitive damages against Random House. Random House plans to fight the lawsuit, saying that “should the prospective plaintiff choose to pursue this action, our expectation is that the court will find this claim completely without legal merit and factually baseless.”

Sounds like a quick way to raise funds for his company. But what the hell is up with the name… Gamecock?
