Australian slot supplier Aristocrat Leisure Limited won a court order against Dinh Toan “Tony” Tran, its Sydney-based principal director of game design, from using 6,800 data files he allegedly downloaded from the company’s computer system.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Australian federal court judge Justice Yaseen Shariff issued the orders, stating that the downloads allegedly took place in early December.
An attorney for Tran told the newspaper the order was put in place without his client being informed of proceedings or having the opportunity to oppose the orders.
A court hearing is slated for February. Aristocrat has declined reporters’ requests to comment on the case.
According to his LinkedIn profile, Tran helped design the slot link Choy’s Kingdom and the Gold Stacks series of slot games.
