The lawsuit, which is seeking $50 million, alleges the fraudulent schemes have cost Tyson and other plaintiffs “tens of millions of dollars,” the report says.

The other plaintiffs in the lawsuit include professional wrestler Ric Flair, whose Carma brands include Ric Flair Drip and Wooooo! Energy, LGNDS, a company that has collaborated with the Tyson 2.0 brand, and Carma itself.

The lawsuit names former Carma President and Chairman Chad Bronstein, former CEO Adam Wilks, and former Chief Legal and Licensing Officer Nicole Cosby, along with shareholder James Case.
