Reuters – Capitol was sued in November by New York hedge fund D. B. Zwirn, which provided Bergstein and partner Ron Tutor with the money for their movies from 2004-07 and demanded reimbursement for about $120 million that was used to acquire Capitol, ThinkFilm and other entities.
On Wednesday, a day before the request for dismissal of the Ascendant case was filed, Capitol was sued by print advertising house XL Laboratories for $50,000 in unpaid fees. In that complaint, XL alleges, among other things, that Capitol engaged its services without making it aware of four pending federal court cases against the company.
