Axar Capital, a private equity firm, has been previously accused of wrongdoing by MCA funders and a committee overseeing the Avant Gardner venue in Brooklyn. Yet, despite these allegations, Axar has managed to secure deals and is now on a fast track to exit all legal liabilities. The torch is now being passed to PACHA, owned by Five Holdings, with Kabir Mulchandani - a person once accused of real estate fraud and who spent 140 days in jail who’s been making quite a comeback and will have a decisive voice the future of the Brooklyn nightlife scene.

Key Roles: Richards (CEO), Yazhari (plan admin), Nahas ($15K/mo trustee ahead of unsecureds). CVR now $90M trigger + $3.5M guaranteed.
