Zuffa Named in Bankruptcy Fraud Complaint

February 18, 2010 by Kelsey Philpott 2 Comments

The latest turn in the Xyience Bankruptcy saga comes as David Herzog, the Liquidating Trustee for the estate of Xyience Incorporated, has filed yet another complaint in US Bankruptcy Court, this time against Zuffa Marketing, LLC (a company wholly-owned by Zuffa LLC).

The complaint alleges that in 2007 and 2008 Zuffa Marketing entered into a conspiracy with a number of Xyience officials to defraud creditors and stockholders out of the corporation. The complaint further alleges that Zuffa Marketing committed fraud on the court in order to avoid $4.5 million in repayment. Herzog alleges that these actions damaged the equity value of Xyience by nearly $100 million.

Herzogย last filed a complaint on December 29, 2009 alleging Fertitta Enterprises, through affliate Zyen, pursued a lend-to-own strategy designed to take control of the company rather than purchase it from creditors and shareholders.

More to follow on the Xyience situation as it unfolds.

Pat McAfee's first MNF alt-cast had 351K viewers, according to a source.

That is around half of what the Mannings have received.

ESPN declined to confirm the McAfee numbers, which is not common practice.

They couldn't due to Katrina, but like every other team in the Midwest, they will let them linger and bring down the #NBA billionaire class.
