Former reality star faces $80 million fraud lawsuit for falsely representing business projects

A former reality TV star is facing a lawsuit alleging fraud involving $80 million, according to a complaint filed in Florida in November 2025. The lawsuit claims that Fitzpatrick and his business partners used false promises to attract investments, including guaranteed high returns and non-existent mining projects in Asia and Africa. Investors allege they were promised a 'guaranteed return of 120%' with an initial investment of $500,000, but later discovered that the projects were still in early stages and required additional funding of $1–2 million, contrary to earlier company claims. The law

Prema navodima iz tužbe podnesene na Floridi u novembru 2025. godine, investitori tvrde da su Fitzpatrick i njegovi poslovni saradnici kroz kompaniju Carbonatik koristili lažna obećanja kako bi privukli ulaganja, uključujući navodne garantovane visoke prinose i nepostojeće rudarske projekte u Aziji i Africi.

U tužbi se navodi da je od investitora zatraženo ulaganje od 500.000 dolara uz obećanje "zagarantovanog prinosa od 120 posto", kao i da je kompanija već imala osigurane rudarske koncesije, proizvodne kapacitete i finansiranje za početak isporuka.

Međutim, investitori tvrde da su naknadno saznali kako su projekti još uvijek u ranoj fazi te da je za početak rada bilo potrebno dodatnih jedan do dva miliona dolara, što je u suprotnosti s ranijim tvrdnjama kompanije.

U tužbi se također navodi da je cijeli poslovni model funkcionisao kao "Ponzi šema", kroz koju su investitori navodno dovođeni u zabludu o stvarnom stanju imovine i finansija kompanije.

Fitzpatrick je, ipak, odbacio optužbe i podnio kontratužbu, tvrdeći da investitori nisu uplatili puni dogovoreni iznos od milion dolara za udio u kompaniji Carbonatik Graminet, već samo 500.000 dolara.

On također optužuje investitore za narušavanje ugleda i tvrdi da su pokrenuli kampanju protiv njega, uključujući i objave koje ga povezuju s navodnom prevarom. Fitzpatrick i njegova kompanija zatražili su od suda odbacivanje tužbe, navodeći da optužbe nisu potkrijepljene dokazima.
