The businessman touted as a top investor in a multi-billion dollar multi-theme park proposal has been hit with a default judgment after ignoring a lawsuit against him.

Bryan Robinson was hit with three lawsuits regarding failures to fulfil financial obligations in March and April. As a result the prime benefactor of the now defunct theme park project must pay US$287,470.87 (€252,632.85, £196,811.47) for not responding to a lawsuit relating to a land investment deal.

The lawsuit, filed on 15 March, came from Allan Neill, an investor in a land deal with Robinson. Lauderdale County judge Mike Jones entered the default ruling against Robinson on 27 April.

According to the filing, Robinson received a sum of US$250,000 (€220,000, £171,000) from Neill, promising to return him a profit of US$25,000 (€22,000, £17,100) within eight days. Robinson failed to pay him anything.

Robinson has also failed to respond to the two other lawsuits in which he is a defendant. In total, he collected US$600,000 (€527,000, £411,000) from three investors for land that Robinson's company – Robinson Capital Investments – did not own.
