A new lawsuit has surfaced involving Jason Keats, CEO of Osom Products and a former executive at Essential Phone. The legal complaint, filed by Mary Stone Ross, the company’s former chief privacy officer, alleges that Keats misused company funds for personal extravagances, including the purchase of two Lamborghinis. The lawsuit also accuses Keats of using Osom's resources to fund his racing hobby, pay his mortgage, and even cover his racing partner’s salary.

Jason Keats founded Osom after the closure of Essential, bringing along several former employees from the defunct company. However, the lawsuit suggests that his management of Osom's finances has been less than professional. Ross is now seeking court intervention to access company records, hoping to substantiate her claims.

Further complicating the situation, the lawsuit claims that Keats unsuccessfully attempted to sell Osom to HP. Following the failed acquisition, Keats reportedly tried to steer the company towards developing an "AI-powered camera," a move that allegedly drained the company’s already limited resources.

Despite these serious allegations, an unnamed spokesperson for Osom has denied the claims made in the lawsuit. As this legal battle unfolds, it casts a shadow over the future of Osom Products, which has already faced significant challenges in the competitive tech industry.
