Parker allegedly "misleadingly assured Kryss that Bezos was actually certainly not responsible for the promotion and also was actually certainly not the purchaser," according to the claim, filed in July in the circuit judge of the 11th Judicial Circuit in Miami-Dade Area..

Kryss' residential or commercial property "would certainly be significantly better to Bezos than to other potential buyers," the legal action insurance claims..
