Flynt sued by estranged brother

Jimmy Flint filed papers in Cincinnati, Ohio last week (ends16Oct11) accusing Larry of stopping his $250,000 (£156,250) annual salary from Flynt Management Group in 2009.

The lawsuit reads, “Hustler retail was Jimmy’s idea, has been highly profitable and has allowed expansion into many other areas and business areas, including gaming. Jimmy opened the first Hustler store and was the first to use the Hustler mark in commerce, in retail. Jimmy literally built Hustler retail from the ground up.”

Jimmy claims his brother forced him out of the business, and he is seeking $20 million in compensation and damages.

In May (11), a federal judge ruled Larry Flynt is the sole owner of the pornography company and his brother is not entitled to a portion of the business, according to the Associated Press.
