Lawsuit Between Ryan And His Family

Following his father’s advice, Ryan chose his family instead of professionals to handle and operate his company, RJH Enterprise.

His father, Ron, and his mother, Cheryl, served as Business manager and Chief Financial Officer, respectively.

Likewise, his two brothers, Chris and Corey, acted as General Counsel and Personal Assistant.

However, it was not long before they misused their positions, defrauding Ryan.

After discovering such a defaming act, Ryan proposed to remove his family members from his finances. To which his parents allegedly responded to receive $5 million each.

On the other hand, his brother, Corey, initially sued Ryan for more than $2.7 million for breaching their deal.

Ryan countersued him and his parents for fraud and mismanagement of his funds in January 2014.

He claimed that his mother had authorized payment of nearly $2.8 million from RJH to family members, which he didn’t know about.

The case was registered in federal court in Missouri, and after a long dispute, Ryan finally settled the nasty legal case in November 2014.
