Leah Larweth alleges in multiple lawsuits that James Larweth \u201cbegan diverting tens of millions of dollars from Anton Rx\u2019s funds for his personal use on speculative real estate investments, vacations\u201d and more.<\/p>\n

In the Prooost LLC lawsuit, Leah Larweth alleges her husband \u201ctook the position that he was the sole manager of the company\u201d after he began the dissolution of marriage proceeding. As a result, he \u201csignificantly increased the frequency with which he acquired real property.\u201d He also acquired commercial properties, such as spending $46 million to \u201cacquire a honky-tonk bar in Nashville, Tennessee,\u201d and $25 million on a \u201cbuying spree\u201d to acquire the Edgewater Hotel and other real estate investments in downtown Winter Garden that \u201ccause \u2018concern\u2019 among residents.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The same lawsuit states James Larweth stopped using one of the couple\u2019s shared business entities, Prooost, to acquire and\/or hold title in some of the properties he purchased. Instead, he used Anton Rx and other LLCs, even though Prooost historically was the only company the Larweths used to invest in real estate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
