The case of Kleiman v. Wright litigation has taken another shape. They had earlier agreed on a settlement in Florida federal court, but things are not the same. The motion filed by the plaintiffs says that Mr. Wright broke the settlement principle. This involved the information sent to the plaintiffs that Craig is no more able to finance the settlement. Such information breaks the non-binding settlement agreement.

Before now, there had been two motions in the Court, praying for relief from impending deadlines and a trial date. However, Craig requested the settlement discussions, the plaintiffs said. The plaintiffs claim that his request means that he can afford a settlement. It was based on the settlement discussions that the plaintiffs stopped active litigation and focused on resolutions.

Nevertheless, the motion of the plaintiffs requires taking the deposition of James Wilson, who was the CFO of Craig’s firms at the time. However, Craig has objected. However, Craig’s counsel said they would require reverting next week on the possibility of consenting to a video deposition later. Craig has been giving until tomorrow to respond. It seems his counsel will not be able to come out with a convincing reason why the deposition should not happen.

The Court had maintained the fraudulent intentions of Craig as he presented fraudulent documents to the Court, put up obstructions to the court proceeding, and provided perjurious testimony. Hence, it seems things are about to become worse for him.
