Big John Don?t Get No Respect & Has to Sue Hippo Golf Again

By David Dawsey PE Esq

Remember my post back in April regarding John Daly?s battle with Hippo Holdings in an effort to collect a $2.7 judgment that he secured? If not click HERE to refresh your memory.

Last week John launched his third lawsuit in the past couple years regarding his relationship with Hippo Golf. First, back in October 2007 John Daly was awarded a $2.7 million default judgment against Hippo Holdings. Unfortunately big John did not collect a penny. The ?catch? with the default judgment is that it was issued against Hippo Holdings, the legal entity that contracted with John.

Then, earlier this year John filed a lawsuit asking the Court to pierce the corporate veils of Hippo Holdings and Hippo Golf and permit John to execute the judgment against Hippo Holdings on its ?alter ego? Hippo Golf. This lawsuit was voluntarily dismissed while settlement negotiations were pursued.

As you can probably guess, the settlement negotiations have been unsuccessful and John was forced to re-file the lawsuit last week. Click HERE to read the Complaint.

I hope JD manages to collect some of the money that he is owed.
