A source close to Sebastian said on Wednesday night that he was "absolutely devastated" by the arrest.winner and his former manager, who both claim the other owes them hundreds of thousands of dollars."Guy terminated the management contract after 11-and-a-half years without notice and then refused to pay me commissions on any work that I did, even for events that had been completed. That crippled my business," he said.
"All income that is earnt comes to the manager first and then is paid on after commissions are deducted. That’s how management deals work. Any money I am holding from royalties or otherwise is a fraction of what he refused to pay me as commissions for work I did as his manager."

Hong Kong protesters could reach 1M amid passing of National Security laws | Sky News AustraliaThe Wall Street Journal’s China Bureau Chief Jonathan Cheng says there could be more than one million protesters on the streets of Hong Kong on the anniversary of 1997 Hong Kong transfer.\n\nMainland China has officially passed the new national security laws which will be imposed on Hong Kong which cover the issues of secession, subversion, and terrorism.\n\n Mr Cheng said the general content of the bill is widely understood but there is growing confusion about the specific details.\n\nHe said the annual July 1 protests in Hong Kong in 2019 were one of the reasons these new laws have been legislated, and while the official Hong Kong ceremony will occur to celebrate the official handover, there will be thousands if not more than a million protesting.\n\n“There is big motivation on the part of many of these people who don’t like the national security bill to get on the street tomorrow”.\n\nHowever, Mr Cheng told Sky News host Peter Gleeson the bill was passed “precisely to stifle that sort of behaviour and punish that sort of behaviour”. \n\nImage: AP
