In an unfortunate turn of events, Steve Angello has been sued by an artist colleague and a former business partner for $12.9 million. As reported by Swedish outlet Expressen, the dance music heavyweight has been sued for allegations of fraud.
As pointed out by them, the charges Steve faces are “fraud, broken business contract and crimes against property management.” Reportedly the former business partner alleges that Angello’s actions were “deliberate and intentional,” and he consequently covered up his fraud “by constantly repeating, and distorting information.” Moreover, the second plaintiff who also is being reffered to as an “artist colleague” claims to have been promised a monthly salary as well as a “five percent stake in a company.”
Talking to Expressen, Steve also remarked about how the plaintiff’s effort lack any grounds.
“[The suit] lacks grounds and is a lot of fabrications and lies…I do not think about this. Had there been something serious, I [would have] been familiar with it. But I do not care. There are no grounds.”
Moreover, Angello has said that he has already filed counterclaims against the suing parties. But as of Tuesday, November 1, however, no counterclaims have been officially filed at the Los Angeles court where the trial is being litigated.
