Business partners of a South Florida broker for last year’s $56 million sale of Pompano Beach’s Festival Marketplace mall have accused him of swindling them out of payment for their work on the deal.

Christopher Bauso and Claudia Herrera claim that real estate agent Morris Jaime Godur hid from them that the property had been sold so he wouldn’t have to share the $2.24 million sale commission, according to Bauso and Herrera’s Broward Circuit Court complaint. Godur had promised to pay Bauso 20% of the sale commission because Bauso connected Godur to the job opportunity by introducing him to an executive with the selling company. Separately, Herrera and Godur had a contract to evenly split sale commissions for deals for three years starting July 2015.
