The FBI raided his company headquarters during its investigation of sex trafficking accusations against him, made by multiple women.
Nygard also had a home in the Bahamas, where he has been in a legal battle with his neighbor over property and noise complaints. He has claimed that the neighbor was to be blamed for allegations, however, The Times has documented complaints over 4 decades, starting before the neighbor feud.
