Days before Maverick City Music co-founder Chandler Moore announced his abrupt departure from the Grammy-winning worship collective, he sued the group’s chief executive for allegedly stealing millions of dollars’ worth of royalties from him.

The civil fraud lawsuit, obtained by Billboard, was filed by Moore’s lawyers in Atlanta federal court last Wednesday (Oct. 1). Five days later, on Monday (Oct. 6), Moore announced on social media that he was leaving Maverick City Music and focusing on solo projects.
