NIN manager hits back

This from CMU: reports the following:

Trent Reznor's former manager John Malm has hit out at the Nine Inch Nails frontman over that previously reported lawsuit in which Reznor accused Malm of fraud and mismanagement.

Commenting on the multi-million pound lawsuit, Malm said on Friday: "Trent Reznor's complete lack of loyalty and integrity is astounding. After 20 years of my professional and personal friendship and support, through some of his darkest hours and at great expense to me, he has decided that everyone in the world is to blame for his problems except himself. It's time for him to take some responsibility for his actions."

Malm's attorney Alan Hirth added: "Trent Reznor's lawsuit is nothing more than an ill-conceived response to an earlier lawsuit that John Malm was forced to bring in April against Reznor to recover more than $2 million in commissions that Reznor has refused to pay. Reznor has reneged on every single contract that he and Malm ever entered into. For at least the past six years Reznor's lawyers were fully apprised of all business dealings between Reznor and Malm. Only when Reznor ran out of money after failing for five years to release a new album or go on tour did Reznor and his high-priced handlers decide to blame Malm for Reznor's reckless spending and abandonment of Reznor's career."

No date set for the court case - but a bloody battle can be expected.

TO:Malm
remember all the faxes to conserative prior to 911 MALM. "BRING IT ON" REZNER is obviously without a soul at this point. Contact ASHCROFT MALM. My helpful suggestions: remaining members of ALICE IN CHAINS....GODSMACK...and JOHN5...
I'm a extremly well trained witness at this point.

seems to me, if you want to post about the non-existant tapeworm, you should do so on a 'bitch session' thread about the fact that tapeworm is non-existant... but that's just my two cents. L8erz G8erz
