Guess that also means Chip and Joanna Gaines' business plan for the HGTV show becomes questionable in the same area.

His own lawsuit may have a bit more impact:

That lawsuit poses some interesting questions to me:

- What informational responsibility does each partner owe the others?
- What efforts had the other two partners made to increase the value of the partnership?
- Since part of the gain of value comes from a non-partner, Joanna, how/why should the real estate partners be compensated?
