Update on the Mike Missanelli Lawsuit

Following today’s court hearing in Norristown, where JAKIB Sports declined a $40,000 settlement offer, an incident occurred involving Mike Missanelli. He verbally threatened & attempted to physically attack our founder, Joe Krause, in the courthouse lobby by the elevators after the hearing.

We will not stand down to Mike Missanelli, and we will not be bullied. He did not fulfill his contract, and he knows it. A police report is being filed tonight with the Norristown Police Department and we are prepared to press charges. JAKIB Sports is committed to seeing this through the proper legal channels.

Missanelli denied that a physical confrontation took place.

In a statement, he said:

“Joe Krause lost his court case with me today and was obviously sour after the fact. I turned down his settlement offer of less than half of the $85,000 that he owes me for services rendered. He has repeatedly tried to circumvent payment to many he employed for his fledgling company and I have begun the process of legal action to recover what he owes me. There was no physical altercation other than his failed, belligerent attempt to get into the elevator with my attorney and myself.”

Krause says he’s filing a police report, which is something we can follow up on. Thursday’s court hearing involved a motion for a gag order, following a preliminary injunction filed by Krause back on October 28th. There’s no documentation from today’s proceedings, but we will dig up what information we can find in the meantime.
