Leaguesharp was created by three developer Matthias Oltmann, Stefan Delgado Argote, Tyrone Tom Pauer who illegally ran the hacking service under the cover of a Peru-based shell company named Chachani to cover up their act.
Riot initially tried to contact the developers informing them about the violation of the terms of use of the game by their service and wanted them to cease the operation. but instead of responding to riot they tried to hide and destroy evidence and even threatened Riot’s employee. and so Riot had filled a lawsuit against them.
