Vice Media owes FTI Consulting nearly $1 million in fees, some dating back to 2019, a court filing alleges.
FTI is one of several vendors who say they've gone unpaid by the youth media company.
The filing alleges that Vice Holding, the parent of Vice Media, hired Washington, DC-based FTI Consulting to help it with accounting projects and management and then failed to pay its bills.
Ironically, Vice hired FTI to help it with "profitability analysis" and to design "cash management" tools, according to the filing.
Fortress lent Vice $30 million, according to the Wall Street Journal, which confirmed Vice is in a process to sell itself.
