Stephen Baldwin Suing Kevin Costner


Stephen Baldwin says Kevin Costner tried to gaffle him. 
Stephen Baldwin is suing Kevin Costner for $3.8 million over a tiff involving oil-separating technology that the Waterworld actor pushed to help solve the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. A complaint filed in Louisiana District Court alleges that Baldwin and friend Spyridon Contogouris entered into a joint agreement to help market the technology — developed under the Costner in Nevada Corporation (CINC) — to BP following the spill. Court papers, however, claim Costner excluded them from a meeting with BP that resulted in an $18 million down payment for the CINC technology. After allegedly not being told of the meeting, Contogouris and Baldwin claim Costner used the $18 million to buy them out of the enterprise, forcing them to give up approximately $2 million of their shares one day prior to BP’s $52 million purchase of CINC technology. Contogouris is suing for $10.64 million; both plaintiffs are claiming securities fraud and misrepresentation.

Sounds like a sly underhanded yet brillianty legitimate business move on Costner's part - business is cut throat - ask Paul McCartney about that (he told Mike Jackson to invest in music catalogs so Mike out bid him for the Beatles).... those Baldwin's have bad tempers - I can see him straight beating the shit out of Kev if they run into each other - let me know when that happens Gossip Jacker....
