Litigitions involving Russ Whitney and/or any of his companies 1

The citems listed below are taken from various court Web sites like the federal PACER service and the Lee County, FL Clerk’s Web site. They may not necessarily be lawsuits per se.
I cannot be certain that each and every one of these cases relates to Russ Whitney. He has used many, many company names over the years. He has also formed alliances of various types over the years with various companies like Leasecomm. In some cases, an alliance may not give Whitney authority to file a lawsuit or prevent one from being filed by the company in question.
