Michael Kassan Accused of Using Millions of UTA Money for Private Jets, Chauffeur’s Rent, Luxury Gifts

MediaLink CEO Michael Kassan, a powerful executive in advertising and Hollywood who sold his company to UTA three years ago, is accused of spending millions of the agency’s money for private jets, his chauffeur’s rent and “extravagant luxury goods” among other “lavish” expenses, according to a lawsuit filed by UTA, obtained by TheWrap.

In the lawsuit filed on Wednesday in L.A. Superior Court, UTA says that Kassan was fired after hiring a private investigator to look into “financial irregularities.” The well-connected Kassan has denied the allegations and hit back with his own blistering lawsuit saying he quit over a breach of contract by the agency.
