FROM METAL INJECTION: 

The lawsuit was filed in June by Steamroller, LLC, the successor in interest of Jordison, and claims that Slipknot never gave back roughly 22 of his items despite "promising to return all of Jordison's belongings." The lawsuit names members Corey Taylor and Michael Shawn "Clown" Crahan.

According to Blabbermouth, the lawsuit further claims that Slipknot then used Jordison's items "in a traveling Slipknot museum called Knotfest and line[d] their pockets with profit off of Jordison's devoted fanbase."

"After abruptly kicking Jordison out of Slipknot in 2013, Taylor and Crahan expressly promised in a written agreement to return all of Jordison's belongings in exchange for Jordison's promise to release certain claims against them," reads a portion of the complaint.

"The agreement contained a non-exclusive list of broad categories of items that [Taylor and Crahan] represented were in their possession and that they would return to Jordison. [Taylor and Crahan] purported to comply with the agreement by returning certain items to Jordison but, unbeknownst to Jordison, [they] had executed the agreement with no intention of performing their obligations thereunder, and knowingly concealed from Jordison that they possessed numerous other items belonging to Jordison that they never returned to him.
