Shelley Day
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shelley Day was a producer of children's video games. After leaving LucasArts, she founded Humongous Entertainment with colleague Ron Gilbert. She created the famous Putt-Putt character as a bedtime story for her son, which became a series of popular children's video games.[1] She also was involved with Humongous' subsidiary, Cavedog Entertainment. After leaving Humongous, she founded Hulabee Entertainment to provide online games for kids.
On December 2nd, 2005, she was sentenced to 30 months in prison for defrauding Asia Europe Americas Bank of Seattle of over $1.5 million. She falsely claimed to the bank loan officer that Disney Interactive was buying part of Hulabee and she presented forged documents to support that claim.
