As we reported previously Nicolas Cage apparently is about $6 million dollars in debt. The 45-year old actor is facing two major lawsuits detailed below but according to a lawsuit file this week, Cage has blamed his business manager, Samuel Levin, for several risky real estate deals that he says cost him millions of dollars.
Cage also claims that Levin did not pay taxes on several properties, leaving him with over $6 million in IRS liens.
“Levin placed Cage in numerous highly speculative and risky real estate investments, resulting in Cage suffering catastrophic losses,” the lawsuit says.
He is suing Levin for a whopping $20 million minimum, and has sold a number of homes, including a German castle, four houses in the United States, and two English manors.
On the two major lawsuits: In one, East West Bank claims Mr. Cage has missed six month’s repayments on a $2-million line of credit they gave him in 2007, and they want it paid back…In full. Right now!
And if that’s not enough fun, the IRS is demanding a sit-down with Nic to discuss $6-million in back taxes the dude also owes. TMZ says the boys at the Service have just filed a tax lien that shows the “National Treasure” actor owes them $6,257,005 in back-taxes – from 2007 alone!
