The latest turn in the Kaku legal saga is not as momentous as much of the Internet reaction implies, but the details revealed in the complaint filed in federal court this week by Red Bull New York LLC reveals several details and pieces of context.
The Red Bulls and Major League Soccer filed a federal complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey demanding a trial against Scott A. Pearson and Argentina Futbol Tours LLC. The defendant is accused of “tortious interference” by “shopping the player around before his contract ended.” The club is seeking damages “at more than $6 million” due to alleged “willful, malicious, [and] fraudulent” conduct.
