The lawsuit states Charles Young and Lela McGhee-Johnson were co-owners of the facility. Operation Unification is a non-profit and should not have owners. At one time, Lela McGhee-Johnson was once a stockholder in the Village, described as a for-profit component of the non-profit. The address Ellis-McNeal paid to lease, G 5246, was part of the Village and was lost for unpaid taxes.
Young, throughout the history of Operation Unification, has transferred ownership of the corporation properties to serve his needs. |

The lawsuit alleges Ellis-McNeal, in anticipation of starting her new business venture, spent $5,000 on various tasks and contracted with Shawn Jones, owner of the Comp Guy, for the wiring and café set up. Jones was to build 13 new broadband computers and Jones accumulated significant debt procuring the needed software and hardware for the Digital Café.
Ellis-McNeal recounted her embarrassment and loss of credibility when she was unable to explain to investors why she could not access her prospective business.
Ellis-McNeal states she turned to Gregory Eason, a third party consultant, for assistance in obtaining a resolution. Young and McGhee-Johnson steadfastly refused to allow her access. Young allegedly threatened to file bankruptcy to prevent Ellis-McNeal from exercising her legal rights. The lawsuit alleges McGhee-Johnson responded to demands for the return of the deposit with the comment to "take a number and get in line" |
