Forever The Sickest Kids frontman Jonathan Cook is being sued by Rolex after it was revealed he had been selling counterfeit copies of the luxury watchmaker's merchandise. The company is seeking damages of up to $2 million for each individual trademark infringed, in addition to compensation for everything from damaged brand reputation to their own legal fees.
Cook's illicit activities were discovered by a private investigator hired by Rolex in late-2012. He was apprehended by Texas authorities and faced Dallas County Court in February.
Hoping to make amends for his wrongdoings, Cook posted an apologetic statement to his fans in April, stating he was not aware of the seriousness of his crimes. Rolex responded by using the statement as evidence of his guilt in the suit filed against him.
Cook's original statement can be read here. Check out the full copy of Rolex's suit below:
More information on the suit will be reported as it develops.
