Sonic co-creator Yuji Naka accuses Dragon Quest producer of lying to the court during trial
Yuji Naka was convicted of insider trading during his time at Square Enix.
Sonic co-creator Yuji Naka has returned to X after being convicted of insider trading, accusing Dragon Quest producer Yu Miyake of lying during the trial.
The details:
Last year, Naka pleaded guilty to insider trading while at Square Enix, receiving a 30-month prison sentence, a four-year suspended sentence, and two fines totaling more than a million dollars.
Naka has now posted on X for the first time since his arrest in November 2022, accusing Miyake of lying in court documents in response to the producer's involvement in the recent Square reshuffle. “Finally. I was hoping he would be gone soon because he is the kind of person who would submit a note with a lie (with evidence) to a court of law,” Naka wrote. “I have never met him, but the new [Square] president might be a good person.”
It's unclear what Naka is referring to exactly, but after his arrest, it was claimed that he bought shares in Aiming after learning that the developer was working on a mobile title called Dragon Quest Tact before it was publicly announced.
