Bryn Kenney Sues NSUS Group and Mansoo Kim Over Alleged 5 Percent Equity and Commission Promises

Bryn Kenney has filed suit against NSUS Group Inc. and Mansoo “Michael” Kim in Clark County District Court. The complaint alleges breach of contract and fraud tied to promises made when Kenney began promoting GGPoker in 2018. Kim responded with a motion to dismiss the fraud claim. Both filings remain pending.

Kenney asserts that Kim and NSUS Group induced him to contribute his reputation, finances, and labor by promising weekly revenue-based commissions and a 5% equity stake. In exchange, the lawsuit states he acted as ambassador, de facto head of game management, and primary recruiter. From 2018 to 2025, Kenney claims he brought thousands of players to the platform and built its high roller tournaments from scratch while persuading Kim against certain business decisions.

The filing says NSUS Group and Kim later reclassified those players and agents, eliminating the commissions. Kenney maintains this dishonored every material promise and cost him tens of millions of dollars.

Kim’s Response to the Fraud Allegations

In a September 23 filing, Kim argued that Kenney’s fraud theory rests on an undated, unattributed assurance that the entire poker community, including Kenney himself, disbelieved. The motion adds that the complaint improperly lumps Kim with parties alleged to have said nothing and seeks dismissal of the fraud claim with prejudice.

The next court hearing is scheduled for November 12. As reported by PokerNews, Kenney holds $90.8 million in live tournament cashes, the highest total in history and $11 million ahead of nearest competitor Stephen Chidwick.
