Hurricanes owner sued by three sons for $105 million

Carolina Hurricanes owner Peter Karmanos Jr. is facing a hefty legal battle brought on by his own kin.

In a lawsuit filed last week in Oakland County (Mich.) court, Karmanos' three sons are seeking $105 from their father over an alleged unpaid loan.

The disputed claim, according to Nick, Jason, and Peter Karmanos III, stems from $100 million their father borrowed from a trust fund they shared in order to pay for Hurricanes-related expenses in 2013. Karmanos has failed to pay back the money he took, the brothers said, and the debt has grown to about $105 million after interest.
