"Among other charges, Wilson contends that Vincent withdrew over $90,000 from a company account without consent, revoked access to a company bank account, refused to distribute funds for company expenses, and helped produce a documentary film that erased Wilson from Nom Wah's story. Wilson is seeking a minimum of $200,000 for the breaches of contract allegedly committed by Vincent as well as the removal of Vincent from the company."
"Three years ago, the Doyers Street dim sum parlor Nom Wah became embroiled in a lawsuit filed by feuding cousins, Vincent and Wilson Tang. In the end, the two split the empire - Vincent would run the original restaurant; Wilson, its newer offshoots - while sharing control of the company, its intellectual rights, and, crucially, a bank account. The animosity between the partners seems not to have faded in that time."
"In response, Vincent's lawyer argues that the lawsuit is "frivolous" and motivated only by Wilson's "spitefulness." "I'm just trying to do what's right for the business. I'm kind of done with the existing situation," Wilson says. He alleges Vincent is "not guided accurately and he's making these poor judgment calls, and it just further proves to me that we can't honestly work together.""
Nom Wah, a 125-year-old Chinatown dim sum parlor, remains controlled jointly by cousins Vincent and Wilson Tang after a prior legal split that divided restaurant operations and shared corporate rights and accounts. A new lawsuit alleges Vincent withdrew more than $90,000 from a company account without consent, revoked access to a company bank account, refused to distribute funds for expenses, and collaborated on a documentary that omitted Wilson. Wilson seeks at least $200,000 in damages and Vincent's removal from the company. Vincent's lawyer calls the suit frivolous and motivated by spite. Wilson says he cannot continue working with Vincent; Vincent says the dispute should remain private.
