Disney case grows ominous
Article Abstract:
Walt Disney CEO Michael Eisner's falling out with his former friend and Disney studio head Jeffrey Katzenberg could lead to undesirable consequences not only for Eisner but for the company. In his lawsuit, Katzenberg is trying to get $25 million, which he claims he is owed by the company. The suit also claims that the company inflated expenses and underreported earnings in its dealings with production partners.
