Iconix, which the SEC and the feds have been investigating, was able to “amass a portfolio of trademarks under false pretenses,” court papers say.
Iconix then “absconded with its licensees’ money without providing the branding and retail support it promised,” the court documents allege.
Roc Nation sold men’s clothing brand Rocawear to Iconix for $204 million in 2007.
The company’s stocks were strong through 2015, but today they are worth “less than a dollar per share,” the suit says.
Wow, that is crazy to hear how Roc Nation sold men’s clothing brand Rocawear and now its worth nothing. That explains a lot about the once great clothing brand.
