Carter Bankshares wins court ruling allowing collection of $302M from Justice entities
Carter Bankshares, Inc.
- Circuit Court denied Justice Entities' motions to set aside confessions of judgment in 21 civil cases.
- Total principal debt owed is approximately $301.9 million, plus interest, charges, fees, and costs.
- Carter Bank expects court orders finalizing confessions of judgment and will pursue aggressive collection.
- All claims are backed by personal guarantees from Governor Justice and his wife; many also from James C. Justice III.
- This proceeding is separate from a federal lawsuit filed by Justice Entities in November 2023.
