UPDATE: Sept. 6, 2016, 2:11 p.m. EDT Nathani's attorney responded to Mashable's request for comment.
Martin Shkreli is under fire once again for financial failings -- and this time the court has ordered the infamous pharma bro to pay outstanding wages to the coach of his former League of Legendssquad.
SEE ALSO:The 5 most absurd moments of pharma bro Martin Shkreli's useless Congressional testimonyTeam Imagine's former coach Rohit "CurryshotGG" Nathani alleged in February that he was only paid $5,000 for his time as coach in 2015 and is still owed $25,000 as per his contract. The New York Supreme Court ordered Shkreli and Gerard Kelly, co-founders of Team Imagine and Maelstrom Gaming, to comply with a motion of discovery Thursday.
The accused party has 30 days to either show documentation that Nathani was paid the full amount, is not actually owed that amount, or pay Nathani the remaining $25,000.
"Discovery is an important part of any litigation," Nathani's attorney Roger R. Quiles told Mashable. "We're glad Justice Rakower agrees that those obligations must be met."
Kelly responded to the initial allegation on behalf of himself, Maelstrom Gaming and Shkreli, saying in multiple cases that there was not enough information to answer Nathani's claims and that an agreement was never made about Nathani's payment. The motion of discovery was filed after this response.
Shkreli shot into the public eye for raising the price of the AIDS drug Daraprim from $13.50 to $750 -- a 5,456% increase. Since then, he has lost his CEO position at Turing Pharmaceuticals, been arrested for securities fraud and conspiracy and his esports team has disbanded.
Shkreli came into his chairman position at Team Imagine after the team merged with his own organization, Odyssey Esports. He held that position for a few months until everything started going downhill.
Kelly has since moved to a new esports organization, NRG Esports, which is steadily growing into more games and made headlines with its famous-athlete investors Shaquille O'Neal and Alex Rodriguez.
Neither Shkreli nor Kelly have responded to the court's motion.
