A judge has thrown out a former Bates Troy manager s lawsuit, which claimed misconduct by the longtime family-owned Binghamton linen company s owners, saying he lacked legal standing.
Separately, the former manager is accused of embezzlement in a lawsuit Bates Troy filed in April 2019.
Bates Troy sued its former employee, Rochester resident Thomas Singe, in 2019 based on claims he embezzled company funds, although his criminal charges had since been dismissed. In March, a new lawsuit on behalf of Singe in his capacity as a shareholder in the company accused Bates Troy s owners of other unlawful and fraudulent activities, and sought a dissolution of the company.
