Antoine Walker Sued For Slum-like Housing
Antoine Walker has problems and it isn’t with his game. Walker, NBA pro basketball star, is about to get in a whole lot of trouble from the city where he grew up for not paying attention to one of his real estate investments.
Antoine Walker has seen his fair share of trouble this year already but this will pile up on a man that earned over $100 million and an NBA Championship. His company, Walker Ventures LLC and AW Realty LLC, has a bunch of lawsuits filed against them primarily for poor management, damages, and a ton of debts.
Walker owns several buildings in the South Side of Chicago. One with a roach infestation, another with leaking pipes, and another with exterior damage. Walker might want to break out the tool belt as the lawsuits pile higher and higher. All of his properties have many problems in one way or another but excuses of a bad economy that the star has made won’t fly in Chitown for this millionaire.
Antoine might want to think about joining a team and getting another contract looking at his other investments.
