The motion goes on to state that two of those lenders — Nissan Motor Acceptance Corporation (holding a $23 million judgment) and Hyundai Capital America (holding a $4.5 million judgment) — recently attempted to garnish Antonio’s wages with the Raiders.
In the bankruptcy filing, Jocelyn, who has been married to Antonio since 2008, stated her husband was convinced to become a “passive investor” in the car dealerships in the 2010s. According to the filing, personal guarantees were later produced that included his name. After several of the businesses he invested in defaulted on their loans, the lenders obtained judgments against their guarantors, which included Antonio.
In 2020, Antonio was listed as a defendant in a class-action lawsuit in Pennsylvania that claimed he, other players and multiple dealerships touted a “Set for Life Program” in 2018 despite becoming aware the businesses would not survive. It’s still listed as an open case.
On April 15, Hyundai motioned to dismiss an arbitration with the plaintiff, while Nissan stated that it had an arbitrator appointed.
