Humongous, Hulabee founder jailed

Shelley Day jail

Shelley Day, the founder of game publishers Humongous Entertainment and Hulabee Entertainment, has been sentenced to two years in prison on fraud charges. Day apparently borrowed $1.5 million from the Asia Europe Americas Bank of Seattle claiming that it was to help facilitate the sale of Hulabee to Vivendi Universal — and then used the funds to purchase a $3 million house. Must have been one humongous house!

Back in the early 90s, Day worked on games such as Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo and Pop Rocket's Total Distortion, as well as Indiana Jones and Monkey Island games for LucasArts.
