Al Gore and Joel Hyatt have filed a lawsuit against Al Jazeera claiming that the news channel is withholding money they were to receive from the sale of the network they co-founded, Current TV.
Al Jazeera relaunched the network as Al Jazeera America last year.
The lawsuit was filed under seal in the Delaware Court of Chancery, but Gore and Hyatt’s attorney David Boies said in a statement, “Al Jazeera America wants to give itself a discount on the purchase price that was agreed to nearly two years ago. We are asking the Court to order Al Jazeera America to stop wrongfully withholding the escrow funds that belong to Current’s former shareholders.”
The lawsuit was filed under seal at the request of Al Jazeera, Boies said, but they have filed a motion to unseal it.
“We do not believe that our complaint should be sealed,” Boies said. “However, despite being a news organization, Al Jazeera America has said that the full complaint should be kept from the public file. We have therefore filed the complaint under seal until the court can resolve this issue. We expect that the court will reject Al Jazeera America’s argument.”
One fraud sues another fraud.
It’s like trying to figure out who to route for in the Iran/Iraq war, or a Red Sox/Yankees playoff game.
Al Jeez probably found how bad a deal it was. 500 million for a bunchnof tard programing?
It's very hard to believe that he was VP of the United States.
Glen Beck would had had you paid in full by now Algore.
AlBore should count blessings he got a few bucks for that Turdball™ TV Network of his. Moneyed-up suckers don’t grow on trees, yaknow.
My smile for the day! I think Gore may have been outlied this time.
Arabs always ask for a discount. It is just common courtesy to grant one.
He’s not a very sharp trader if he doesn’t know that.
Hey, Gore. You should have sold it to Beck. Your petty, vengeful little act seems to have backfired on you. Tsk tsk.
Is there no honor among thieves?
HF
Ratings aren’t doing well... rename it Al Gorezeera and give it back to him...
Bwah ha ha ha ha.
Go to bed with a dog, get up with fleas.
If he tries to collect, he may wind up being fitted for a short coffin.
There is no bigger scumbag in the universe than our pal Al.
OMG I like Al Jazeera America
