Dan Bilzerian Sued Over Retaliation Against Ignite Whistleblower

6: 08 AM PT— Dan tells TMZ, “He (Heffernan) was fired for incompetence and neglect and Ignite will be bringing match against him. His claim is not only unimportant; it is ludicrous.”

Dan Bilzerian fired a whistleblower who sounded the alarm on strange costs patterns at Dan’s marijuana and CBD company … at least according to a new lawsuit.

The popular playboy poker player and cannabis sector CEO is being taken legal action against by Curtis Heffernan, who declares he was fired from his job at Dan’s weed company, Fire up, after seeing some business funds were being spent on things that appeared individual … and then blowing the whistle.

According to the lawsuit obtained by TMZ … Heffernan, who was Ignite’s Executive VP, claims he flagged lots of purchases to the company board, such as luxurious costs on a $75,00 0 paintball field, $40 k on a rock climbing wall, $60 k on a ‘Star Wars’ gun set, $31 k on swimming pool renovations, $50 k on a bed frame, $15 k on a ping pong table and $88 k on a vault.

In the docs, Heffernan declares Dan’s company was likewise burning tons of money on luxury yacht rentals, plus transportation for hot models … and he states he discovered other “business expenses” that turned out to be charges for groceries and various family products.

According to the fit, Heffernan claims he told the board at Fire up the company might not afford to keep investing money in the same way throughout the pandemic, and in action, Dan falsely accused him of doing drugs and he got canned.

Heffernan is going after Bilzerian for damages.

We reached out to Dan … no word back, up until now.
