Kevin Garnett is suing an accountant and his firm, alleging they helped a wealth manager steal $77 million from the retired NBA star.
The suit alleges Kentucky-based accountant Michael Wertheim and Welenken CPAs enabled Charles Banks IV of Atlanta to defraud Garnett through businesses in which Garnett and Banks shared an interest.
A defense attorney says Wertheim and the firm deny the allegations and will “vigorously” fight the suit. Banks was not named as a defendant.
