6.7 Regulation Kayleen Fulton起诉以太坊基金会，称其因披露癌症及反对Mandate后遭非法解雇和歧视，诉状涉及残疾及医疗休假相关法律。
以太坊基金会前员工Kayleen Fulton已在美国科罗拉多州地方法院对基金会及包括Vitalik Buterin和Bastian Aue在内的多名个人提起诉讼。诉状于2026年11月4日提交，指控基金会在Fulton披露卵巢癌诊断并组织反对内部Mandate文件后，存在非法解雇、残疾歧视及干涉医疗休假权利等行为。 该Mandate文件包含有争议的“Source Seppuku License”条款，引发员工强烈反对，53名员工签署了反对信。Fulton称，她在向管理层通报诊断13天后、提交员工反对意见12天后被解雇。 诉讼援引了《美国残疾人法》和《家庭与医疗休假法》的相关规定。此案发生在2026年6月基金会裁员54人重组之后，引发外界对其内部治理和用工实践的关注。
