Harvey Weinstein Files Fraud Lawsuit Against Brother and Former Executives Over $45M Loan

Weinstein alleges financial misconduct and misappropriation of funds, claiming he was left solely liable for millions in debt.

Harvey Weinstein has sued his brother Bob Weinstein and former Weinstein Company executives, alleging they misappropriated funds from a $45 million loan intended to support the company.
The lawsuit claims that the funds were used for personal expenses, unauthorized bonuses, and unrelated ventures, leaving Weinstein solely responsible for repaying $30 million plus interest.
Weinstein accuses the defendants of fraudulent settlement negotiations with AI International Holdings that released them from liability while increasing his financial burden.
The lawsuit seeks compensatory and punitive damages, recovery of misappropriated funds, and legal costs, along with an injunction to prevent further financial misconduct.
Weinstein, currently incarcerated and awaiting retrial for his overturned 2020 rape conviction, has cited health concerns in requesting an earlier trial date.
