## Resource

A federal judge has ordered the Justice family to pay $17 million plus interest, declaring their companies legal alter egos and stripping corporate shields — meaning family members like Jay and Jill Justice now face personal liability. The ruling stems from years of opaque finances, missing records — including a $157 million loan with no documentation — and failed discovery compliance. Jay and Stephen Ball were jailed for civil contempt. Plaintiffs now get unprecedented access to the family’s inner financial operations, and the case echoes in a separate lawsuit over The Greenbrier Hotel, where mismanagement allegations are mounting.
