Financial technology startup Carta was hit with a fiery lawsuit by its former chief technology officer, adding to an already chaotic month for the company.

Ex-CTO Jerry Talton accused Chief Executive Officer Henry Ward in a suit filed Friday of misusing Carta resources and called Ward “charismatic, but insecure and narcissistic,” also comparing him to Don Corleone from The Godfather.
