According to Forbes.com, Gaming VC has settled a lawsuit filed by Fort Knox Consulting in United States District Court.

Fort Knox, a brokerage consultancy, alleged in October 2006 that Gaming VC had breached a commission agreement.

Under the agreement, Fort Knox was to receive a 5 percent commission on any M&A work with any of 13 identified counterparties.

The suit named Steven Barlow, former chief executive of Gaming VC, and Scott Miller, a former director of the company, as defendants based on alleged "tortuous interference" with the alleged settlement.

According to court documents, the case was dismissed by Judge Reginald C. Lindsay on May 20.
