A woman is seeking more than $500,000 from a man and a woman who she alleges conned her into making a loan in 2021 to a man she thought was singer Kenny Chesney, but who instead was someone else by the same name and who has never repaid her.
The defendants in the Van Nuys Superior Court lawsuit brought Thursday by realtor Patricia Linson are Kenny Chesney — but not the entertainer — and Nayri Apelian, who Linson says had an impressive business background, making the plaintiff more confident that she would be making the loan to the actual country singer. Chesney told Linson that Apelian was his partner, according to the suit.The lawsuit’s allegations include fraud, breach of contract and unjust enrichment.
“What ultimately gave the confidence to loan Chesney money was when he brought defendant Nayri Apelian into the picture,” the suit states. In April 2021, Linson agreed to loan Chesney $310,000 with all the money to be funneled through Apelian because the defendants said that any funds sent to Chesney would be seized, the suit states.Linson initially sent $90,000 and the remainder in Bitcoin. She desired to meet with Chesney, so she flew to Tennessee after the two agreed on a location, the suit states.
