Law Suits
Back in 2004, Reznor faced a lawsuit of more than $2 million by his manager John Malm Jr. The suit stated that Reznor “reneged on every single contract he and Malm ever entered into” and refused to pay any money to Malm.
In response, he filed the suit against his former manager in the United States District of New York, charging with breach of fiduciary duties and fraud.
During the trial, Reznor revealed his problematic financial situation, the result of his longtime addiction to alcohol and drugs. Sadly, he only found out about his financial condition in 2003, when he requested a financial statement from Malm. Trent came to know that he had only $400 thousand liquid assets.
“It was not pleasant discovering you have a 10th as much as you’ve been told you have,” he stated at the court.
In 2005, the judges of the court sided with Reznor giving him around $2.95 million ($5 million after inflation) and control over ‘NIИ’ trademark.
