"&lt;img vspace=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" border=\"0\" align=\"left\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2009/12/24/1224_cage_ex-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" /&gt;The stand-in-line-to-sue-&lt;strong&gt;Nicolas-Cage&lt;/strong&gt; saga has just deepened -- Nic's being sued again for allegedly stiffing someone over a loan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to a lawsuit obtained by TMZ, &lt;strong&gt;Red Curb Investments &lt;/strong&gt;loaned Cage $3.5 million for a real estate deal back in July, 2007. In return, Nic agreed to pay $29,166.67 a month, which includes 10% interest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The suit goes into a lot of detail over how repayment was structured, but bottom line, Red Curb claims Nic owes a balloon payment of $1,850,269.67. But that's not all Red Curb is after.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Red Curb says Nic committed fraud and wants an additional $15 million. The fraud, according to the suit, is that Nic never disclosed he was deeply in debt to the IRS and needed the money to pay back taxes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.tmz.com/photos/2009/10/16/2194-nicholas-cage\"&gt;&lt;img vspace=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" border=\"0\" align=\"right\" alt=\"\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2009/12/24/1224_cage_200-1.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;And there are millions more Red Curb wants to collect from Cage and co-defendant &lt;strong&gt;Samuel Levin&lt;/strong&gt;, who incidentally Cage is suing. Cage claims Levin, his former business manager, is the reason he's gone belly up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cage's lawyer, legal pit bull &lt;strong&gt;Marty Singer&lt;/strong&gt;, says, \"Any claim that our client engaged in any fraudulent conduct is ridiculous.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;UPDATE:&lt;/strong&gt; The fraud allegation is against Levin, not Cage. Cage is being sued for not repaying the loan.&lt;br /&gt;\n&lt;div class=\"related\" id=\"classkey\"&gt;\n&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span&gt;See Also&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;\n&lt;ul&gt;\n    &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2009/12/08/nicolas-cage-sued-claims-of-abuse-babhy-moma-christina-fulton-lawsuit/\"&gt;Nicolas Cage's Ex Makes Wild Claims in Suit&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n    &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2009/11/17/nicholas-cage-business-manager-nic-lawsuit-countersuit-broke/\"&gt;Cage's Manager: Nic Was Broke As a Joke&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;/ul&gt;\n&lt;/div&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
