However Moore's company, Westside Productions, is now suing Harvey Weinstein
and his brother Robert for breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract and
constructive fraud with claims the producers bilked him out of a few of
those millions.
In documents filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday, Moore
alleges that his agreement with the Weinstein brothers' company, The
Fellowship Adventure Group (TFAG), was to split all profits 50/50. However,
the controversial filmmaker claims in the suit that the Weinstein's secretly
diverted monies to benefit themselves, and used "classic Hollywood
accounting tricks and financial deception" to cheat him out of a prominent
portion of the profits.
According to the papers, the "deception" was initially uncovered in November
2008 audit which revealed "highly irregular accounting practices," including
charges to the production for the cost of private jets to fly one of the
Weinstein brothers to Europe. The suit goes on to make numerous accusations
against TFAG, including claims the company deducted almost $500,000 in
"residuals" to numerous guilds that appear to never have been made.
Moore's production company is seeking more than $2.7 million in compensation
and damages.
A lawyer for Moore declined to comment on the lawsuit, however an attorney
for Harvey Weinstein, Bert Fields, is confident Moore's case won't stand up
in the court of law.
"Mr. Moore has been paid a huge amount of money and he is not entitled to
another dime. He has received every dollar he's entitled to, and his
allegations are a lot of hot air, which we will demonstrate to the court,"
Fields told FOX411's Pop Tarts. "There simply is no merit to any of his
claims. They're all just unfounded and bologna. They know that those claims
have no merit, and Mr. Moore, for whatever reason, has decided to file this
lawsuit. The timing is very suspicious if you think about why one would file
a lawsuit against the Weinstein's right at this point. I think they're going
to lose and we're going to win."
But a source close to Moore's company said the lawsuit has been building for
quite some time.
"Most films are negative for a long period of time, because you have to pay
the cost of production, and the cost and interest and overhead, all kinds of
things. Then they're exploited in different media, with first film, then
DVD, and free television and paid television, and they're exploited in
different countries at different times, so it takes a considerable period of
time before all of that accounting information gets accumulated and
reported," the source told FOX411. "I'm sure at the end of the day, they'll
find a lot more through discovery. To cast aspersions against Michael for
[filing suit] is ludicrous."

Here's what libtards don't get. They're fuckin hypocrites. If you've been
reading AUK as long as I have you would know that most of (what's left of
the) the regulars here are wingnuts who forget that nuts can be threaded
both LEFT and RIGHT. Some of these same people, who put themselves out
there as liberals who hate "bullys", are (or were) some of the biggest
bullies on all of Usenet. They follow their leaders. Problem is, they
have no "leaders" anymore thanks to a certain lawyer. Oh, and they also
blindly follow idiots like Al Gore, who to this day insists the only reason
the past three winters have been colder and have had more snow than normal
is because the earth is warming. Up is down, and down is up in
libtard-land. Yeah. Now pull the other one, Al. IF that's true, why did
"global warming" suddenly become "climate change"? The fuckin' climate's
been changing forever. And it will continue to do so, ya dopes. Nothing
'man' has done, nor CAN HE DO short of nuclear war can change the natual
progession of the climate in any significant way. Earth will take care of
itself. Yet dopey people will continue to parrot Gore and his minions even
LONG AFTER it was proven that Gore's mansion used more energy than the Bush
household did. Poor Al. Like most libtards, he didn't practice what he
preached and got busted on it. Hell. Even Snopes confirmed it. Anyway;
"Global Warming" is the biggest hoax foisted upon the world since "American
Idol" Why? Because people are stupid. That's why. But back to bullying?
How come it's OK for that libtard Kathy Griffen to call the Palin kid fat?
Isn't that bullying? Isn't that just a horrendous thing to say? What's
funny is that it comes from some lame-ass-never-was who's admitted to having
botched liposuction because she was FAT! But nope. She's not a hypocrite.
All she did was take a few shots at akid who is the daughter of a powerful
republican woman, so it's all good to the libtards.
Meanwhile, if some other famous comedy-type was to call the Clinton kid a
dog (and she is) .... All hell would break loose.
MY Gawd...u need to be neutered! UGH!!!
We sure don't need u'r brain damaged gene pool chromosomes to
proliferate ANY further and accidentally leak into the normal pool and
turn it into the same slime pit that u oozed out of

Some "right-tard" made sense and I can't refute anything he said. So like
the monkey that I am, I'll just throw feces at him and hope an alpha male

Don't worry, Pogo. In about a million years (or so) you'll be able to form
a rational thought or two.
I believe in evolution.
