The full story is on the Daily Dot.

No one knows where Boudreault is.

Staffers on Quantic haven’t spoken to him in weeks. Kalle Nilsson, who runs Quantic’s media division, says Boudreault owes him hundreds of dollars. That didn’t stop over 50 people from sending Nilsson hate mail after the news broke, Nilsson said. The angry fans assumed Nilssonwas also responsible for the money owed to Hyun.

In fact, Hyun told the Daily Dot he holds no grudges against anyone in Quantic other than Simon Boudreault.

“The other staff is not bad people,” he wrote. “Except Simon.”

In addition to the $23,000 allegedly owed to Hyun, Bernie "Fujikura" Catalan, Quantic’s Chief Operating Officer says he is owed $4,000; Paul “Icewulf” Lampron, the team’s Marketing Director, says he is owed $8,000; and John Clark, who also worked in marketing for Quantic, says he is owed $5,000.

“The team was such a mess,” Clark told the Daily Dot.

“Had no real marketing deck, no hierarchy, no real marketing materials. Then the League of Legends team fell apart and that is when Simon disappeared.”

That adds up to at least $40,000 Boudreault allegedly owes his staff. Several other ex-Quantic employees, who have asked not be identified say Boudreault has owed them hundreds of dollars.


There's also more including news about Hyun's search for Simon and his lack of legal representation. Here it is.

Totally unexpected!

No, seriously, this isn't surprising at all... I hope a solution will be found.

Man, he made off with a lot of peoples money. Its going to be a bummer when people find out how hard it is to get that money from him, even with courts involved.

Maybe he isnt evil but rather he was bad at managing money and spent all of it on expensive flights and hotels for the players. Maybe he doesnt have it anymore and is just scared of having to pay with his own wallet for his failure.

Employees have to sue the society.
Then depending on what structure the society had the associates will have different responsibility
If the employees didn't recieve a salary they will be compensated thanks to the compulsory employer contributions (AGS in europe )

Where I live, its a criminal offense not to fulfill wage obligations. If that's true in Canada, they should make a complaint and get the government to hunt down this clown.

You cant take money from someone who has not enough to pay back. I´m pretty sure most of the ppl won´t see any money from him even when there are judges involved.

Sounds like the guy got in way over his head and is now just running away from the fact that he has no solution to this problem.

Feels like everything is going to shit in SC2.

Was there always that much bad stuff, or is it just that there isn't anything to distract us from it?

This is so sick. Is anything so bad ever happened from a SC2 team manager?

LoL was also involved, it's not only SC2, Dota 2 also has had scams. It's nothing new.

This just managed to get worse. I really hope something good becomes of all this.
It's disappointing seeing a 'pro' team turn out this way, because of the actions of one guy.

Canada ain't going to care about $40k. Ontario alone has like $5 billion missing.
