Damon Dash is getting ready to declare bankruptcy while his legal battle with filmmaker Josh Webber is heating up in federal court. Dash's lawyers have asked to withdraw from the case, stating that Dash is not cooperating with disclosing his assets and has indicated his intention to file for bankruptcy. They mentioned facing challenges in representing Dash due to his lack of communication, and requested a 30-day pause in proceedings for Dash to secure new legal representation and finalize his bankruptcy filing. This development comes amidst a prolonged legal dispute between Dash and Webber over the film Dear Frank, with Dash previously ordered to pay a significant sum to Webber. Despite having his ownership in Roc-A-Fella Records auctioned off to cover part of the debt, Dash still owes a substantial amount, and Webber's legal team is pursuing seizing Dash's film catalog. Dash was warned by the court of potential sanctions and forced sale of his intellectual property if he continued to be non-compliant.
