    You would think this would be an easy case to crack these days.

    I wonder how the US justice system "works" if someone like King is still able to do business while being a con artist? You would expect someone to inevitably to end up in jail after conning a 100 boxers.

    People who seem to be in league with Lucifer live a long time. They say Satan rewards his people with long lives.

    You can't sleep with Don King and not expect he's going to try to **** you.

    Dubois is a complete idiot for not demanding payment in advance esp from someone King.

    Looks like it was a misunderstanding and an escrow issue.

    “Promoter King has requested banking and wire information from Warren for two months with no reply.

    So King’s lawyer, Tony Gonzalez, put the funds in escrow. He’s waiting for Warren to respond.

    DuBois’ lawyer Leon Margules finally sent the wire instructions. But only after Warren and Queensberry Promotions failed to reply to Don King Promotions’ multiple requests for wire instructions.

    Warren and his promotional company, Queensberry Promotions, had the television rights payment for BT Sports deducted from the purse, per the agreement.

    “King has already paid DuBois’ foreign taxes to the IRS of $420,660.12.”

    King himself added: “I have talked with DuBois and his father about the matter. I told them the money was in escrow.


    “Pursuant to Florida State Athletic Commission Director Patrick Cunningham’s instructions, proof of payment in the form of the payment for the 30% IRS backup withholding was provided.

    Also, with $475,000 set off towards Mr. Dubois’ purse at the instruction of Mr. Dubois’ promoter, Queensbury.

    “Additionally, and at the instruction of Mr. Cunningham, an escrow deposit was made. The amount of $134,000.00 represents a final balance due Mr. Dubois after applying to set off $319,000 for outstanding monies owed DKP by Mr. Warren.

    “Also, all sanction fees owed by Mr. Dubois were paid in full to the WBA.”
