BrandFX Prevails Again in Astoria Lawsuit

Fort Worth, Texas (May 14, 2010) - Today, in the continuing legal saga arising from Astoria's wrongful and unethical business practices, the trial court ordered Astoria to increase its bond by over $200,000.The increased amount covers an additional $100,000 in legal fees awarded to Brand FX for prevailing on the appeal and another $100,000-plus interest. Astoria asked for 21 days to come up with extra money. All told, Astoria now owes Brand FX nearly $2.5 million as a result of its wrongful and unethical business practices. Lee Finley, principal of Brand FX said, "Today's ruling is further evidence that Astoria's multiple attempts to quash the voice of the jury are futile." Hugh Connor, attorney for Brand FX, said, "While we have prevailed at every stage in this litigation, I fully expect Astoria to continue to fight the decision of the Court and, ultimately, be forced to pay Brand FX additional legal fees and interest."
