Bruce Willis Sues Over Rubber Check

Posted Nov 21st 2008 3:12PM by TMZ Staff

Bruce WIllisBruce Willis has learned a valuable lesson about rubbers.

Willis is suing a Malaysian company and the guys who run it after investing $2 million in what the suit calls "a revolutionary technology to produce devulcanised 'green rubber.'" The product is non-toxic and recyclable.

Short story -- Willis claims Elastomer Technologies and The Petra Group, run by HRH Prince Imran Ibni Tuanku Ja'afar and Datuk Vinod B. Sekhar (both common spelling) guaranteed that it was a "no risk" investment. In the lawsuit filed in Federal Court, Willis says he had a "put option," meaning he could demand his money back at any time.

Willis says he got $1,1000,000 back and is still owed $900,000.

1. Guys, somebody should brush up on their math skills!! $11,000,000+ $900,000=$11,900,000

I think what you tried to say is that Mr. Willis has gotten back $1,100,000 so far.

Probably a mis-spelling.

3. Not that I expect celebrities to be smarter than you're average human being (g-d knows they prove the contrary on this site all the time), but has anyone ever told him "If it's too good to be true, it usually is". I mean seriously. With that kind of product VC capital is available from banks.

6. Actually what they said was that he has been paid 1,1000,000... 1000,000 actually is just 1 milliion... So if we are getting technical about what they said, according to those numbers he has been paid 2 million... So which is it??? Is the comma in the wrong place or is there one too many zeros??

7. Sounds like they are trying to make Gumby. Where is Eddie Murphy when you need him.

10. "$1,1000,000" isn't a really number TMZ... double check that.

$11,000,000? Or just $1,000,000??
