In the complaint, the Georgia-based firm says: 'All of the wire transfers from the firm’s accounts to the Cosmopolitan contained information that put the Cosmopolitan on notice of the improper nature of the wire transfers and the fact that the Cosmopolitan was not entitled to accept or retain the transferred funds.' 

Alleged misappropriation

Mr Hardwick was invited to open an account with Cosmopolitan in 2012, says the firm. The firm alleges that the money was misappropriated and that the casino hotel is not entitled to keep it. Source: ABA
