Murray Businessman, Wife, Named in Lawsuit

A Nashville man claims fraud in a lawsuit filed in US District Court in Paducah, naming a Murray businessman and his wife as defendants.

David Griffin's complaint alleges that Chuck Jones asked him for financial commitments to his business interests, including Integrated Computer Solutions, Blackrock Investments, SE Book Company, and College Book Rental Company. Griffin says he did so, even though, as time went on, it appeared that he was not made aware of operational changes and financial disclosures.
 
A portion of the complaint reads that "...C. Jones had a system in place to defraud Griffin into making increasing investments into the Companies-money that Management, C. Jones and S. Jones moved around their various companies and used for their own purposes to Griffin's detriment-on the assurance that additional investments would make Griffin's initial investments more valuable as the companies grew and/or until sold."

The complaint further states that, "Since April 2009, the Companies have routinely been unable to pay operating expenses. When faced with an operational shortfall, Management and/or C. Jones asked Griffin to invest money into the Companies to cover those expenses while making assurances that revenues and the Companies' values were increasing, but concealing the significant sums being transferred to Management and used for the Joneses' personal gain."

The complaint specifically includes allegations of fraud, misappropriation, and breach of contract, among others.

The complaint asks that the Court impose a constructive trust of the assets of Charles Jones, Sarah Jones and CA Jones Management Group LLC for benefit of Plaintiff; that the Court award Plaintiff his attorneys' fees; that the case be tried before a jury, and that the court award "...other legal and equitable relief as it deems appropriate."

Lawsuits, of course, give only one side of a case.
