Sammy D’s Speed Racer Lawsuit

Oh, how did I almost forget: Yesterday, TMZ posted documents of Samuel Dalembert’s lawsuit against a group of business partners he says scammed him out of money he invested. Apparently, he gave over a million dollars to a group that was to license Speed Racer merchandise; the lawsuit contends the group never even owned the rights to Speed Racer.

Oh, yeah, and look: Teddy Pendergrass II is also named in the lawsuit!

The Daily News points out: “In an unrelated development, Dalembert has withdrawn from a scheduled trip to India with the NBA’s Basketball Without Borders initiative to concentrate on training with the Canadian national team as it attempts to secure a berth in this summer’s Beijing Olympics.” Unrelated? I don’t know, I bet it has something to do with this Speed Racer lawsuit.
