former employees of bankrupt Redbox parent Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment have filed a lawsuit charging the company and ex-CEO Bill Rouhana with "greed at shocking levels."

This resulted in employees unknowingly incurring millions in unreimbursed medical expenses.” The suit goes on to allege that the defendants “engaged in an elaborate ‘Ponzi Scheme,’ setting up multiple business entities under the umbrella of the until-now warm-hearted brand Chicken Soup for the Soul.” Plaintiffs in the case include Brian Skajem, Lisa Papatzimas, Erin Tuttle, David Ellender, Dara Cohen, Matt Loze, Jessica Stoeckeler, Heather Bundy, Carey Campbell, Kelly Burke Hopkins and Courtney Smith. A lawyer who recently represented Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment in Delaware Bankruptcy Court did not immediately respond to Deadline’s request for comment on the lawsuit.
