NEW YORK (Reuters) - DraftKings said on Monday that an independent investigation found that an employee who won $350,000 on rival fantasy sports website FanDuel did not use nonpublic information to pick his team's lineup.
The investigation, by the Greenberg Traurig LLP law firm, determined that it would have been impossible for Ethan Haskell to use nonpublic information regarding lineups in DraftKings fantasy games to get an edge when the Sept. 27 FanDuel lineup was entered, DraftKings said.
The probe showed that Haskell did not gain access to nonpublic information with player ownership percentages in DraftKings lineups until 40 minutes after the lineup in the FanDuel contest was locked, DraftKings said.
