Bobulinski is involved in two legal battles with a company he worked with in the past, China Branding Group Limited. The company sued Bobulinski in the Central District of California federal court in July 2020 in an effort to force Bobulinski to pay them $634,393.52 they say he owes as a result of a court judgement in the Cayman Islands.
According to a 2016 press release, China Branding Company is “China’s leading Western-entertainment digital content company.” The press release announced the company had been bought by digital media technology company Remark Media. CBG included a subsidiary, FansTang. CrunchBase describes FansTang as:
A cross-platform branded media and entertainment business firm with staff located in Hollywood, Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou and Chengdu. FansTang provides the most direct link between Chinese fans and advertisers with Hollywood and sports related celebrities and celebrity content. These areas include television/online video programming, social media content creation and management, live events, data analysis, celebrity commercial activities and film marketing. FansTang achieves tens of millions of social media impressions per day and reaches over 5mm viewers each day through its TV programming. FansTang’s integrated branded Hollywood media provides synergistic and comprehensive cross platform media, allowing for comprehensive brand recognition and following from Chinese fans within FansTang’s targeted demographic.
According to court documents, CBG went through liquidation and Bobulinski claimed he was owed $1,765,000 as a secured creditor. His claim was rejected, but he was allowed an unsecured claim of $650,000, according to court documents. Bobulinski appealed, but in 2019 a court in the Cayman Islands issued judgements against him in the amount of $56,431.82 and $57,208.58 for court costs. The documents say Bobulinski paid some of that money, but still owed more than $72,000. Later in 2019, a third judgement was ordered against Bobulinski for court costs in the Cayman Islands for $562,170.94. In the federal lawsuit filed in California, the company is seeking a judgement from U.S. authorities to force him to pay the judgements made in the Cayman Islands.
In April 2019, also in the Central District of California, Bobulinski sued China Branding Group Limited’s former CEO, Adam Roseman, accusing Roseman, who founded CBG, of fraudulently inducing him to invest $650,000 in the company, according to court documents. Roseman has denied any wrongdoing in legal filings. Bobulinski and Roseman, and their attorneys, could not be immediately reached for comment about the lawsuits. Both cases are still ongoing.
What's the point of all of that other than an attempt to distract?
