SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – A South Dakota organic beef company has sued its former chief executive, accusing him of profiting from side ventures, running up more than $67,000 in personal charges on a company credit card and forming a competing company.
Howard Venture LLC, doing business as Dakota Beef, filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court last week against Scott D. Lively and his Lively Foods LLC.
It accuses Lively of trying to embezzle from and sabotage the operations of Dakota Beef, and of forming his new venture in violation of a noncompete agreement.
