The hotelier and his company, SBE Entertainment Group, are accused of self-dealing and breaching fiduciary duties in the sale of the SLS Hotel South Beach in 2015.

The plaintiff, Century City-based firm 4 Corners Holdings, alleges that Nazarian and SBE neglected to pay back its investment in the South Beach hotel project even after the property was sold.
