The Chung family said it closed one of its dry cleaners in D.C. after losing money fighting the high-profile lawsuit involving a missing pair of pants.
South Korean immigrants Jim Na and Soo Chung, who operated Custom Cleaners...for seven years, were sued in 2005 by D.C. administrative law judge Roy Pearson for $67 million for mishandling a pair of pants.
The amount in the high profile case was later lowered to $54 million.
Despite winning the suit that went to trial in June in the D.C. Superior Court, the Chungs spent money fighting Pearson and ultimately had to close the store, according to a press release issued by their attorney.
