Eric Prydz sues Thomas St John in California
Swedish DJ and producer Eric Prydz has initiated a lawsuit against his former business manager, Thomas St. John, in a California court. The legal filing accuses St. John of fraud and misappropriating 269,000 dollars from the artist. According to the complaint, St. John made unauthorized transfers for unapproved services and then withheld crucial tax documents, refusing to file them unless paid an additional 150,000 dollars.
Prydz had been a client of St. John since 2012. The legal action states that after a new agreement was signed in 2023, the manager began paying himself for services without obtaining the necessary approvals from Prydz or his representatives. Following the contract’s termination, St. John allegedly withdrew a further 50,000 dollars without permission.
This lawsuit follows a separate legal challenge from artist Calvin Harris, who has accused St. John of misappropriating 22.5 million dollars related to a real estate venture. St. John has previously denied those allegations, asserting that no funds were misappropriated in that project.
