The former CEO and founder of online mental health care giant Cerebral sent a letter to the company Friday demanding access to "books and records" that he says could reveal whether the startup violated the law, setting the stage for a potential lawsuit. Former Cerebral employees say company's practices put patients at risk: "It's chaotic. It's confusing.

Kyle Robertson was ousted from the company in May as scrutiny increased over Cerebral's prescribing of stimulants like Adderall, which is used to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and is considered a controlled substance.
