Restaurateur Patrick Whalen is tangled in a legal battle with investors over use of funding at Church and Union Charleston.
WP Church LLC — affiliated with Charlotte developer White Point Partners — has filed a complaint in North Carolina Business Court. It claims Whalen “robbed” Church and Union Charleston — or CU Charleston — and its investors, stealing at least $5 million in assets over the past five years. Court documents allege Whalen misappropriated funds for the restaurant and surreptitiously spent the money on his other restaurant projects.
