It would be fine for him to share the profits, if the profits were his to share.  The lawsuit seems to be that he was paying himself salary instead of distributing profits to cut out the minority shareholder&#x27;s from their rightful percentage of profits (turning profits into his own salary).<p>Then it sounds like to spite his brother (the minority partner) he came up with a self-promoting way to give those profits to other people; and enrich himself through speaking deals, etc. again at the expense of the minority partner.
