Guy Sebastian’s former manager Titus Day found guilty of embezzling his money | gmitch_news
Guy Sebastian’s former manager Titus Day has been found guilty of embezzling his celebrity client’s money.
The trial started with 15 jurors in early May and was originally due to run for five weeks, but was beset by delays including Sebastian and a barrister catching COVID-19. Five jurors were discharged for various reasons including the extended trial length. Day had been Sebastian’s long-term manager and Sebastian followed him when he started his own company, 6 Degrees, in 2009. Sebastian’s income was paid to Day, who deducted a 20 per cent commission and GST before forwarding the rest to the singer.The court heard various amounts were not paid into Sebastian’s “GuyTunes” account, causing him to part ways with Day in November 2017 and launch action in the Federal Court. Sebastian also reported the matter to police in June 2020.
“Any money I hold of Guy’s, I say is mine, and is only a fraction of what he owes me,” Day said in the interview. “He terminated my contract and didn’t pay me commissions.”
