Schwartz told him he needed $110,000 to get an insurance policy for the high-risk actress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After some discussion, Braun claims he anted up the cash.&amp;#160; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fast forward to completion of the film, when Braun asked Schwartz to repay the loan.&amp;#160; Braun says in the lawsuit it quickly became obvious... Schwartz had scammed him -- that Schwartz had NOTHING to do with the film and he was just out to fleece an unsuspecting rich guy.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Braun says after confronting Schwartz, he got back a measly $36,313.67.&amp;#160; Now he wants the rest, plus punitive damages for alleged fraud.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But we did some checking and it turns out Schwartz does have a Lindsay connection.&amp;#160; Although his credits do not include \"Liz &amp;amp; Dick,\" he did work with Lindsay as a producer on \"&lt;strong&gt;Machete&lt;/strong&gt;.\"&amp;#160; He was also a producer on Lindsay's non-Emmy winning movie, \"&lt;strong&gt;Labor Pains&lt;/strong&gt;.\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
