`
`At all times material hereto, Defendant, Gonzalez, was, and is, a Florida

`
`Global maintain their respective principal places of business in Miami-Dade County and
`
`because the facts and occurrences giving rise to the causes of action occurred in Miami-
`
`Dade County.
`
`6.
`

`
`interests may be protected. Plaintiff has become obligated to pay the undersigned a
`
`reasonable attorney's fee. Plaintiff shall seek prevailing party fees pursuant to Florida
`
`Statutes and terms of the documents sought to be enforced herein as applicable.
`
`7.
`
`All conditions precedent to bringing this action have occurred, been

`
`
`
`
`Factual Allegations
`
`A.
`
`8.
`
`Transaction Concerning Nutreceutics
`
`On or about early 2020, Plaintiff secured the sale of fifty (50) Trilogy Evo
`
`Life Support Respirators (the “Respirators”) (the “First Order”), to its client a Panamanian
`
`company, Nutreceutics SA (“Nutreceutics”).
`
`9.
`
`On or about March of 2020, Plaintiff contracted with Health Equip. and
`
`Crown Global to supply the Respirators.
`
`10.
`
`Plaintiff, Health Equip. and Crown Global agreed that Health Equip. and
`
`Crown Global would order Respirators and have them shipped to Nutreceutics.
`
`11.
`
`The parties agreed that the profits generated from the sale of the Respirators
`
`to Nutreceutics would be divided in equal parts, one half of profits distributed to Plaintiff,
`
`and the other half of the profits distributed to Health Equip. and Crown Global.
`
`
`
`2
`
`

`

`12.
`
`Ultimately, fifty (50) Respirators were delivered to Nutreceutics in
`
`fulfillment of the First Order and payment of the purchase price was made by Nutreceutics
`
`directly to Health Equip. and Crown Global by Nutreceutics for the amount Nutreceutics
`
`and Plaintiff agreed to, $649,750.00.
`
`13.
`
`Up to this point, the transaction occurred precisely as the parties agreed
`
`upon.
`
`14.
`
`Nutreceutics thereafter ordered an additional fifty (50) Respirators from
`
`Global (the “Second Order”).
`
`15.
`
`After receiving the funds from the sale of the First Order to Nutreceutics,
`
`Plaintiff, Health Equip. and Crown Global agreed that instead of dividing the profits
`
`associated with the First Order of the Respirators, the parties would use the funds towards
`
`the order of an additional fifty (50) Respirators from the manufacturer, Phillips Respironics
`
`(“Phillips”).
`
`16.
`
`Upon fulfilling the Second Order, Plaintiff, Health Equip. and Crown
`
`Global would split the profits in equal parts, one half of the profits unto Plaintiff and the
`
`other half unto Health Equip. and Crown Global.
`
`17.
`
`In total, the profits to be divided among Plaintiff and Health Equip. and
`
`Crown Global would correspond to the sale of one hundred (100) Respirators after the
`
`fulfillment of the Second Order (the First and Second Order each being for fifty
`
`respirators).
`
`18.
`
`Health Equip. and Crown Global placed an order with Phillips for fifty (50)
`
`Respirators in connection with the Second Order, and informed Plaintiff that payment in
`
`the amount of $324,750.00 was made to Phillips in connection with the order. The fact is
`
`
`
`3
`
`

`

`that Health Equip. and Crown Global only made payment to Phillips in the amount of
`
`$65,000.00. This was confirmed by Phillips.
`
`19.
`
`Accordingly, Phillips shipped only the Respirators for which it received
`
`payment, ten (10) Respirators at a cost of $6,500.00 each. Health Equip. and Crown Global
`
`delivered these ten (10) Respirators to Nutreceutics and Nutreceutics currently has
`
`possession of these ten (10) Respirators, which did not fulfill the Second Order for fifty
`
`(50) respirators and as a consequence Nutreceutics seeks to return them unto Plaintiff
`
`and/or Health Equip. and Crown Global.
`
`20.
`
`To date, the profits from the First Order have not been tendered to Plaintiff,
`
`and additionally, Health Equip. and Crown Global did not reinvest the funds towards the
`
`placement of the Second Order.
`
`21.
`
`Health Equip. and Crown Global acted in bad faith and made
`
`misrepresentations, alleging that payment for the Second Order was made to Phillips, when
`
`only $65,000.00 was paid.
`
`
`
`B.
`
`22.
`
`Transaction Concerning World Target
`
`On or about late 2020, Plaintiff secured the sale of certain medical products
`
`to its customer in Panama, World Target S.A. (“World Target”).
`
`23.
`
`In connection with the foregoing, Plaintiff contracted with Health Equip.
`
`and Crown Global to supply the products in connection with the sale.
`
`24.
`
`As part of the arrangement, World Target made payment directly unto
`
`Health Equip. and Crown Global in the amount of $12,369.00, half of the invoice amount,
`
`as a deposit. The remaining half of the purchase payment would be made upon delivery of
`
`the order to World Target.
`
`
`
`4
`
`

`

`25.
`
`Health Equip. and Crown Global failed to uphold their portion of the
`
`agreement - only a small delivery of product contracted for was ever made to World Target,
`
`with a value of $339.00.
`
`26.
`
`The remainder of the $25,078.00 order went unfulfilled, notwithstanding
`
`Health Equip. and Crown Global having received a $12,369.00 deposit towards the order.
`
`27.
`
`Due to the extended period elapsed since the order was placed, World
`
`Target no longer requires the delivery of the remaining product, and instead requests a
`
`refund from Plaintiff.
`
`Count I – Breach of Contract
`(Health Equip. and Crown Global re: World Target)
`
`28.
`
`Paragraphs 1 through 21 are repeated and realleged as if fully set forth
`
`
`
`herein.
`
`29.
`
`This is an action for damages that exceed $30,000.00, exclusive of costs and
`
`interest.
`
`30.
`
`In March 2020, Plaintiff and Defendants, Health Equip. and Crown Global
`
`entered into a verbal agreement whereby Defendants, Health Equip. and Crown Global
`
`would supply Respirators to Nutreceutics and the parties would share in profits generated
`
`from the sale of the Respirators to Nutreceutics in equal parts - one half of profits
`
`distributed to Plaintiff, and the other half of the profits distributed to Health Equip. and
`
`Crown Global (hereinafter referred to as the “Nutreceutics Agreement”).
`
`31.
`
`32.
`
`Plaintiff performed all his obligations under the Nutreceutics Agreement.
`
`Notwithstanding Defendants, Health Equip. and Crown Global breached the
`
`Nutreceutics Agreement by failing to (i) pay Plaintiff profits to which Plaintiff is entitled
`
`
`
`5
`
`

`

`in connection with the First order, the total being $162,250.00, and (ii) fulfill the Second
`
`Order.
`
`33.
`
`As a result of Defendants, Health Equip. and Crown Global’s breaches,
`
`Plaintiff has been damaged in the sum of $162,250.00.
`
`
`
`Wherefore Plaintiff demands judgment against Defendants, Health Equip. and
`
`Crown Global for damages, together with costs and interest pursuant to the Florida Statutes,
`
`and such other relief as the Court may deem just and proper.
`
`Count II – Breach of Contract
`(Health Equip. and Crown Global re: Nutreceutics)
`
`34.
`
`Paragraphs 1 through 7 and 22 through 27 are repeated and realleged as if
`
`
`
`fully set forth herein.
`
`35.
`
`This is an action for damages that exceed $30,000.00, exclusive of costs and
`
`interest.
`
`36.
`
`On or about late 2020, Plaintiff secured the sale of certain medical products
`
`to its customer in Panama, World Target.
`
`37.
`
`In connection with the foregoing, Plaintiff contracted with Health Equip.
`
`and Crown Global to supply the products in connection with the sale.
`
`38.
`
`As part of the arrangement, World Target made payment directly unto
`
`Health Equip. and Crown Global in the amount of $12,369.00, half of the invoice amount,
`
`as a deposit. The remaining half of the purchase payment would be made upon delivery of
`
`the order to World Target.
`
`39.
`
`The profits generated from the sale of medical products to World Target
`
`would be split equally between the parties ((hereinafter referred to as the “the World Target
`
`Agreement”).
`
`
`
`6
`
`

`

`40.
`
`Notwithstanding Plaintiff’s performance of its obligations under the World
`
`Target Agreement, Defendants, Health Equip. and Crown Global failed to uphold their
`
`portion of the World Target Agreement - only a small delivery of product contracted for
`
`was ever made to World Target, with a value of $339.00.
`
`41.
`
`The remainder of the $25,078.00 order went unfulfilled, notwithstanding
`
`Defendants, Health Equip. and Crown Global having received a $12,369.00 deposit
`
`towards the order.
`
`42.
`
`Due to the extended period elapsed since the order was placed, World
`
`Target no longer requires the delivery of the remaining product, and instead requests a
`
`refund from Plaintiff.
`
`43.
`
`As a result of Defendants, Health Equip. and Crown Global’s breaches,
`
`Plaintiff has been damaged in the sum of $12,369.00, the amount Plaintiff is obligated to
`
`pay back to World Target.
`
`
`
`Wherefore Plaintiff demands judgment against Defendants, Health Equip. and
`
`Crown Global for damages, together with costs and interest pursuant to the Florida Statutes,
`
`and such other relief as the Court may deem just and proper.
`
`Count III – Conversion
`(Health Equip., Crown Global and Gonzalez)
`
`Paragraphs 1 through 27 are repeated and realleged as if fully set forth
`
`44.
`
`herein.
`
`45.
`
`This is an action for damages that exceed $30,000.00, exclusive of costs and
`
`interest.
`
`46.
`
`Plaintiff is entitled to share in the profits generated from the business
`
`transacted with Nutreceutics.
`
`
`
`7
`
`

`

`47.
`
`Notwithstanding, Defendants Health Equip., Crown Global and Gonzalez,
`
`knowingly and deliberately and without justification and intentionally converted Plaintiff’s
`
`share, to wit: $162,250.00 for their own personal use.
`
`48.
`
`Additionally, Defendants, Health Equip., Crown Global and Gonzalez,
`
`converted the sum of $12,369.00 which they received from World Target and now Plaintiff
`
`is obligated to pay back to World Target.
`
`49.
`
`As a result of the foregoing, Plaintiff has been damaged in the sum of
`
`$174,619.00.
`
`Wherefore, Plaintiff demands judgment against Defendants, Health Equip., Crown
`
`Global and Gonzalez for damages together with interest and costs pursuant to Florida
`
`Statutes and such other relief as the Court deems just and proper.
`
`Count IV - Fraud/Constructive Fraud
`(Gonzalez)
`
`Paragraphs 1 through 27 are repeated and realleged as if fully set forth
`
`50.
`
`herein.
`
`51.
`
`This is an action for damages that exceed $30,000.00, exclusive of costs and
`
`interest.
`
`52.
`
`As partners in the Nutreceutics and World Target Agreements, Gonzalez
`
`owed fiduciary duties to Plaintiff; however, Defendant Gonzalez abused the fiduciary
`
`relationship with Plaintiff and took unconscionable advantage of the relationship at the
`
`expense of Plaintiff.
`
`53.
`
`Defendant Gonzalez engaged in a scheme whereby he fraudulently
`
`converted funds rightfully due onto Plaintiff and in an effort to divest Plaintiff of funds in
`
`which he either beneficially owned or is entitled to (despite Plaintiff having performed his
`
`
`
`8
`
`

`

`end of the deals), Gonzalez misrepresented the status of payment to the supplier of the
`
`products purchased by Nutreceutics from Defendants, Health Equip. and Crown Global.
`
`54. More recently, Defendant Gonzalez has, and continues to, conceal profits
`
`generated from the sale to Plaintiff’s customers by failing to respond to Plaintiff’s inquiries
`
`regarding same and by failing to account to Plaintiff.
`
`55.
`
`Defendant Gonzalez achieved this by concealing and/or refusing to produce
`
`financial documents related to profits generated for the purpose of converting Plaintiff’s
`
`share of profits.
`
`56.
`
`All of the foregoing actions were taken by Defendant Gonzalez to defraud
`
`Plaintiff.
`
`57.
`
`Plaintiff has been damaged by Defendant Rodriguez’s action in the sum of
`
`$174,619.00.
`
`
`
`Wherefore Plaintiff demands judgment against Defendant Gonzalez for damages
`
`(including punitive damages) together with costs and interest pursuant to Florida Statute
`
`and such other relief as this Court deems just and proper.
`
`Count V - Quantum Meruit
`(Health Equip., Crown Global and Gonzalez)
`
`Paragraphs 1 through 27 are repeated and realleged as if fully set forth
`
`58.
`
`herein.
`
`59.
`
`This is an action for damages that exceed $30,000.00, exclusive of costs and
`
`interest.
`
`60.
`
`Plaintiff performed all duties required of him by procuring customers for
`
`Defendants, Health Equip. and Crown Global.
`
`61.
`
`At all times material hereto, Defendants, Health Equip., Crown Global and
`
`
`
`9
`
`

`

`Gonzalez were aware of the foregoing and Defendants, Health Equip., Crown Global and
`
`Gonzalez acquiesced and benefitted from Plaintiff’s contributions to the transactions
`
`involving Nutreceutics and World Target all of which were accepted by Defendants
`
`Umbrella Holdings and Rodriguez.
`
`62.
`
`Under ordinary circumstances a reasonable person would reasonably expect
`
`to pay for such benefits, notwithstanding, Defendants, Health Equip., Crown Global and
`
`Gonzalez have failed to compensate Plaintiff.
`
`63.
`
`Defendants, Health Equip., Crown Global and Gonzalez have been unjustly
`
`enriched by virtue of the foregoing.
`
`64.
`
`A reasonable sum for the contribution Plaintiff provided to Defendants,
`
`Health Equip., Crown Global and Gonzalez is $174,619.00 or any part thereof.
`
`
`
`Wherefore Plaintiff demands judgment against Defendants, Health Equip., Crown
`
`Global and Gonzalez for damages, together with costs and interest pursuant to the Florida
`
`Statutes, and such other relief as the Court may deem just and proper.
`
`Count VI - Unjust Enrichment
`(Health Equip., Crown Global and Gonzalez)
`
`Paragraphs 1 through 27 are repeated and realleged as if fully set forth
`
`65.
`
`herein.
`
`66.
`
`This is an action for damages that exceed $30,000.00, exclusive of costs and
`
`interest.
`
`67.
`
`Plaintiff conferred a benefit upon Defendants, Health Equip., Crown Global
`
`and Gonzalez by procuring customers for Defendants, Health Equip. and Crown Global.
`
`68.
`
`Defendants, Health Equip., Crown Global and Gonzalez appreciated these
`
`benefits and were thereby enriched.
`
`
`
`10
`
`

`

`69.
`
`However, Defendants, Health Equip., Crown Global and Gonzalez have not
`
`paid amounts due to Plaintiff specifically, the sum of $174,619.00 as required.
`
`70.
`
`Defendants, Health Equip., Crown Global and Gonzalez accepted and has
`
`retained the aforementioned benefit under circumstances that make it inequitable to do so
`
`without repaying these benefits.
`
`
`
`Wherefore Plaintiff demands judgment against Defendants, Health Equip., Crown
`
`Global and Gonzalez for damages, together with costs and interest pursuant to the Florida
`
`Statutes, and such other relief as the Court may deem just and proper.
`
`Count VII - Fraudulent Inducement
`(Gonzalez)
`
`Plaintiff reaffirms and realleges the allegations contained in paragraphs 1
`
`71.
`
`through 27 as if fully set forth herein.
`
`72.
`
`This is an action for damages that exceed $30,000.00, exclusive of costs and
`
`interest.
`
`73.
`
`Prior to and during negotiations leading up to the Nutreceutics and World
`
`Target Agreements and indeed at all times subsequent thereto, Defendant Gonzalez
`
`represented to Plaintiff that profits would be split as agreed to by the parties.
`
`74.
`
`At all times relevant hereto, Defendant Gonzalez knew that the foregoing
`
`representations was false.
`
`75.
`
`Instead, Defendant Gonzalez waited until Plaintiff procured clients and
`
`when payment was made to Defendants Health Equip. and Crown Global, Defendants,
`
`Health Equip., Crown Global and Gonzalez converted Plaintiff’s share of the profits.
`
`76.
`
`Accordingly, Defendant Gonzalez’s representations were false at the time
`
`they were made and Defendant Gonzalez knew or should have known such representations
`
`
`
`11
`
`

`

`to be false at the time they were made.
`
`77.
`
`Defendant Gonzalez made such false representations for the purpose and
`
`with the intent that Plaintiff would act in reliance thereof, and procure clients.
`
`78.
`
`Prior to, at the time the agreements referenced in counts I and II were
`
`entered into and subsequent to the entry into same, Plaintiff was unaware of the falsity of
`
`Defendant Gonzalez’s representations, and Plaintiff entered into the agreements and
`
`performed in accordance to the terms of same in justifiable reliance on Defendant
`
`Gonzalez’s false representations.
`
`79.
`
`Plaintiff was justified in his reliance on Defendant Gonzalez’s statements
`
`and representations because Plaintiff lacked the knowledge necessary to discover the fraud.
`
`80.
`
`If Plaintiff had known Defendant Gonzalez would not have honored the
`
`parties’ understanding, Plaintiff would not have entered into the agreements nor performed
`
`work as obligated.
`
`81.
`
`Plaintiff has been damaged by acting in reliance on Defendant Gonzalez’s
`
`false representations.
`
`
`
`Wherefore Plaintiff demands judgment against Defendant Gonzalez (Plaintiff
`
`reserves the right to assert a claim for punitive damages in due course), together with costs
`
`and interest, and such other relief as the Court may deem just and proper.
`
`Count VIII - Fraudulent Misrepresentation
`(Gonzalez)
`
`Plaintiff reaffirms and realleges the allegations contained in paragraphs 1
`
`82.
`
`through 27 as if fully set forth herein.
`
`83.
`
`This is an action for damages that exceed $30,000.00, exclusive of costs and
`
`interest.
`
`
`
`12
`
`

`

`84.
`
`Prior to and during negotiations leading up to the Nutreceutics and World
`
`Target Agreements and indeed at all times subsequent thereto, Defendant Gonzalez
`
`represented to Plaintiff that profits would be split as agreed to by the parties.
`
`85.
`
`At all times relevant hereto, Defendant Gonzalez knew that the foregoing
`
`representations was false.
`
`86.
`
`Instead, Defendant Gonzalez waited until Plaintiff procured clients and
`
`when payment was made to Defendants Health Equip. and Crown Global, Defendants,
`
`Health Equip., Crown Global and Gonzalez converted Plaintiff’s share of the profits.
`
`87.
`
`Accordingly, Defendant Gonzalez’s representations were false at the time
`
`they were made and Defendant Gonzalez knew or should have known such representations
`
`to be false at the time they were made.
`
`88.
`
`Defendant Gonzalez made such false representations for the purpose and
`
`with the intent that Plaintiff would act in reliance thereof, and procure clients.
`
`89.
`
`Prior to, at the time the agreements referenced in counts I and II were
`
`entered into and subsequent to the entry into same, Plaintiff was unaware of the falsity of
`
`Defendant Gonzalez’s representations, and Plaintiff entered into the agreements and
`
`performed in accordance to the terms of same in justifiable reliance on Defendant
`
`Gonzalez’s false representations.
`
`90.
`
`Plaintiff was justified in his reliance on Defendant Gonzalez’s statements
`
`and representations because Plaintiff lacked the knowledge necessary to discover the fraud.
`
`91.
`
`If Plaintiff had known Defendant Gonzalez would not have honored the
`
`parties’ understanding, Plaintiff would not have entered into the agreements nor performed
`
`work as obligated.
`
`
`
`13
`
`

`

`92.
`
`Plaintiff has been damaged by acting in reliance on Defendant Gonzalez’s
`
`false representations.
`
`
`
`Wherefore Plaintiff demands judgment against Defendant Gonzalez (Plaintiff
`
`reserves the right to assert a claim for punitive damages in due course), together with costs
`
`and interest, and such other relief as the Court may deem just and proper.
`
`Count IX - Piercing the Corporate Veil based on Fraud, Conversion and Fraudulent
`Inducement
`(Crown Global and Gonzalez)
`
`Plaintiff reaffirms and realleges the allegations contained in paragraphs 1
`
`93.
`
`through 27 as if fully set forth herein
`
`94.
`
`At all times relevant hereto Defendant Crown Global was owned and
`
`managed by Defendant Gonzalez.
`
`95.
`
`Upon information and belief, Defendant Gonzalez is actually the alter ego
`
`of Defendant, Crown Global and as its manager and member, Defendant Gonzalez
`
`dominates and controls Defendant Crown Global; and Defendant Crown Global was
`
`organized, or after it was organized was employed, by the Defendant Gonzalez for
`
`fraudulent or misleading purposes. Specifically, Defendant Crwon Global was organized
`
`to divert and usurp profits and revenues from Plaintiff and to tortuously divest Plaintiff of
`
`his interest in same. Moreover, Defendant Crown Global was set up to divest Plaintiff of
`
`funds which he is entitled to via profits generated from sales to Plaintiff’s customers.
`
`96.
`
`Such conduct by Defendants, Crown Global and Gonzalez caused injury to
`
`the Plaintiff.
`
`97.
`
`Upon information and belief, Defendants, Crown Global and Gonzalez
`
`commingled bank accounts and funds of one another and they converted monies received
`
`
`
`14
`
`

`

`from Defendant Crown Global for their own benefit and use.
`
`98.
`
`At all times material hereto, Defendant Crown Global disregarded its
`
`corporate structure and operated for the benefit of Defendant, Gonzalez.
`
`99.
`
`Accordingly, Defendant, Gonzalez is personally liable for the debts of
`
`Defendant Crown Global and vice versa.
`
`100. Recognition of the corporate entity of Defendant, Crown Global by this
`
`Court would permit the Defendant Gonzalez to commit fraud, evade personal responsibility
`
`and perpetrate injustice.
`
`
`
`Wherefore, Plaintiff respectfully requests judgment against Crown Global and
`
`Gonzalez for damages, including costs pursuant to the Florida Statutes and any other
`
`further relief this court deems just and proper.
`
`Demand For Jury Trial
`
`Plaintiff demands a trial by jury on all counts so triable.
