Harvey Weinstein Drops Fraud Claims Against Bob Weinstein

Harvey Weinstein has decided on his own accord to drop the charges of fraud and financial conspiracies he had filed against his brother, Bob Weinstein.

In a lawsuit filed in the New York Supreme Court in February, Harvey Weinstein claimed that his brothers Bob Weinstein and David Glasser, along with others, coerced him into guaranteeing a $45 million loan from AI International Holdings in 2016 for their film production and distribution company. According to Weinstein, the money was not used as intended for the company’s benefit but instead was misused for personal expenses, unwarranted bonuses, and unrelated financial transactions. Weinstein further alleged that once sexual assault allegations against him led to a breach of contract, he was unfairly left holding the responsibility for repaying the loan.

On July 18, Harvey Weinstein chose to drop the lawsuits against his brother, Bob Weinstein, permanently, which means those same claims can’t be brought up again in court. This decision didn’t include any negotiations for a settlement or monetary compensation.

Brian Kohn, attorney for Bob Weinstein, stated that Harvey’s statement completely addresses the points Harvey had brought up against Bob in this particular matter,” or more simply, “Harvey’s declaration clears up all the allegations made by him against Bob in this case.

Despite the ongoing claims against other parties involved in the lawsuit, Glasser and Irwin Reiter – another executive named in the suit by Weinstein – have each submitted requests to have their cases dismissed.

In 2017, AI International Holdings took legal action against me due to an unpaid loan. The loan was for $45 million and was related to one of my businesses that unfortunately collapsed following a massive scandal involving its founder and key executive. This unfortunate event led to a default on the loan agreement. Later on, I filed a third-party complaint against certain parties in response to this lawsuit.

In March 2018, The Weinstein Company sought protection under Chapter 11 of U.S. bankruptcy laws, as accusations against Harvey Weinstein had been made public.

Just prior to Harvey Weinstein’s April trial for rape and sexual misconduct, a complaint was filed by a third party. During this retrial, Weinstein was convicted on one charge of criminal sexual assault against Miriam Haley, a previous assistant on the show Project Runway, but was found not guilty on another charge involving Kaja Sokola, a former model.

As a gamer, I’d put it like this: “The judge declared a mistrial for the rape allegation, as one juror refused to re-enter the deliberation room regarding the remaining charge. The prosecution has announced their intention to re-try Weinstein on the rape charge involving aspiring actress Jessica Mann, who has expressed readiness, willingness, and eagerness to face this charge again.
