Subsequently, he was summoned to a general meeting where the dissolution of the company was proposed, a decision to which he also opposed.\n\n&#8220;I voted that I didn&#8217;t want to close the company. It was an impressive business and I had no intention of leaving,&#8221; Fixman expressed in an interview with journalist Oscar Petit for the program <em>El gordo y la flaca<\/em>.\n\nThe businessman maintains that, although he received legal notification to expedite the dissolution, the company never stopped operating. According to the lawsuit filed in 2024, the company would have continued to operate under the same name and business model, but with new partners and without his participation. Fixman described this maneuver as a &#8220;<strong>mirror structure<\/strong>&#8220;, in which his place would have been taken by another investor identified as <strong>Neil Harris<\/strong>.\n\nThe lawsuit involves all the partners of the company, including Daddy Yankee and Mireddys Gonz\u00e1lez, who, according to the claimant, signed the company documents on behalf of the artist. &#8220;Mireddys signed everything, but in Daddy Yankee&#8217;s name,&#8221; he stated.\n\nDuring a legal interrogation, Gonz\u00e1lez and another implicated person, <strong>Carlos Lerena<\/strong>, invoked the <strong>Fifth Amendment<\/strong>, according to the court record. Fixman acknowledged that he made mistakes by not properly investigating his partners before joining the business, although he stated that this does not justify what happened.\n\nThe businessman assured that he is not afraid to face the legal process despite the artist&#8217;s fame and power. &#8220;If I were afraid, I wouldn&#8217;t be a businessman,&#8221; he stated. In the lawsuit, he is seeking financial compensation of <strong>12 million dollars<\/strong>, as well as justice and the restoration of his reputation.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Puerto Rican singer Daddy Yankee is once again in the spotlight of controversy after being linked to a lawsuit for alleged fraud, conspiracy, and breach of trust, related to a million-dollar business of padel courts.
