Robin Lehner in Legal Trouble Once Again
Robin Lehner seems to like to be in front of the newspapers. The Swedish goalie was involved in numerous scandals in the last few years and his name is once again all over the web.
Lehner Accused of Multiple Fraud Charges
The Knights' goaltender filed for bankruptcy last december and a creditor is now accusing him of fraud.
In a detailed 14-page complaint, Aliya Growth Fund has accused Robin Lehner of fraud. They are demanding a trial after lending Lehner $4.75 million just six weeks before he and his wife filed for bankruptcy.
AGF's legal team argues that Lehner solicited and received substantial funds by making "materially false and misleading representations."
They also claim that Lehner and his wife had 24 separate loans amounting to $21 million, 11 ongoing litigation matters, and unpaid taxes, all of which were not disclosed in their loan application last fall.
In a separate case, American Express is seeking repayment of $95,319.96 incurred by Lehner after hiring a bankruptcy attorney in December 2022. According to the company, Lehner spent $45,406.25 at Aquatic Treasures in Las Vegas and $15,029.99 at Top Shelf Aquatics in Winter Park, Florida.
A significant portion of the Lehners' debt is connected to their family company, SolarCode, which is being sued by a lender for $3.9 million due to an alleged failure to repay a business loan. Lehner has also invested in reptile breeding and farms and is facing litigation related to missed payments on snake purchases.
However, any active litigation is currently halted by the bankruptcy proceedings.
It's safe to say that Lehner's in trouble and could face consequences for his actions. Knowing his temperament and his history of peculiar behaviour, we have to say that it's not surprising.
