Judge orders managers for late Johnny Winter to pay $226,000 in damages in lawsuit alleging theft
- A Connecticut judge ruled that Johnny Winter's managers must compensate $226,000 due to unauthorized payments they received following his death in 2014.
- The legal dispute arose from a 2020 lawsuit by relatives of Winter's wife alleging Paul and Marion Nelson swindled over $1 million.
- The Nelsons withdrew $112,000 from Winter's business account in 2019, deposited it into their own account, and received other unauthorized payments.
- Judge Charles Lee ruled after a seven-day trial in January 2024 that the Nelsons improperly took royalties and cash withdrawals, but rejected fraud claims.
- The ruling rejected Nelsons' claims to Winter's music rights and granted damages, highlighting ongoing estate tensions years after Winter's death.
