Hermes Heir sue LVMH, others
An heir to the Hermes family fortune has filed a civil lawsuit against LVMH, its CEO Bernard Arnault, and others related to a stock battle that has been going on for over a decade. The heir believes he was wrongfully stripped of shares of Hermes stock now valued at 14 billion euros (about $16 billion in U.S. money). In October of 2010 LVMH took a 17% stake in Hermes, later it acquired about 23% of the company. In 2011 the family got together and formed a holding company to prevent a full takeover of the company. In 2013 the French government fined LVMH 8 million euros for not disclosing the initial stake they held in Hermes. By 2014 the battle ended with LVMH giving up their stake in Hermes by distributing the shares to its own shareholders. Somewhere within the mix this heir claims his shares were somehow transferred without his knowledge. Nobody seems to know what happened. Police are investing as well.
