"NEXA claims the group used confidential information from its internal Mortgage Academy training program to benefit Platinum One Lending, a Michigan-based competitor in which Grella holds an ownership interest. NEXA also accuses Grella and Platinum One of encouraging Wake's breaches and working with her to recruit NEXA's staff to harm the company. The company calls this a civil conspiracy. The amendment builds upon the May 2025 filing."
"The filing said Wake asked these employees to sign nondisclosure agreements. NEXA also alleges that Wake maintained an internet domain name associated with NEXA's training program, WhyNexaAcademy.com, which she has refused to release to NEXA unless she is paid a fee of $18,000. The suit also alleges that Wake, who had access to NEXA's confidential business and training materials including marketing plans and internal procedures took the materials when she left and used them for herself and her new employer, Platinum One Lending."
NEXA alleges confidential information from its Mortgage Academy training program was used to benefit Platinum One Lending, a Michigan-based competitor in which Grella holds an ownership interest. NEXA accuses Grella and Platinum One of encouraging Wake's contractual breaches and recruiting NEXA staff to harm the company. NEXA alleges Wake solicited about 12 employees for a competing venture, asked them to sign nondisclosure agreements, and maintained the WhyNexaAcademy.com domain that she refused to release without an $18,000 payment. NEXA alleges Wake took confidential business and training materials, including marketing plans and internal procedures, and used them for Platinum One. Claims include cybersquatting, breach of contract and duty, unfair competition, and trade secret misappropriation. NEXA seeks damages exceeding $75,000, punitive awards, and an order transferring the domain. Defendants have not yet filed responses, and NEXA previously named the Grella couple in separate litigation.
