A New York-based installation company claims it was financially harmed by its prime contractor. Plaintiff Danil Barannikov filed a complaint against ITG Communications, LLC, alleging that the company’s actions led to the financial ruin of Domestic Supply, Inc., a subcontractor previously thriving under ITG's contracts.
The lawsuit accuses ITG Communications, a national telecommunications contractor serving Altice USA, Inc., of withholding payments from Domestic Supply. According to the complaint, Domestic Supply executed thousands of service orders accurately and on time, yet ITG allegedly refused to compensate them. ITG is also accused of fabricating chargebacks and withholding remittances under false pretenses. The complaint identifies ITG managers George Hernandez, Tomas Castora, and Raymond Parris as orchestrating these actions to seize equipment and dismantle Domestic Supply’s operations.
Barannikov contends that ITG’s local management deliberately diverted revenue streams to benefit a competing subcontractor secretly owned by one of its managers. As a result, Domestic Supply lost contracts and assets, and its owner assumed personal liability for outstanding debts. The plaintiff is seeking at least $2.8 million in damages for unpaid receivables and consequential harm from the alleged misconduct.
The complaint details multiple causes of action, including breach of contract, conversion, fraud, tortious interference with prospective business advantage, breach of fiduciary duty under trust fund doctrine principles, and civil conspiracy. The lawsuit seeks compensatory and punitive damages across several counts and declaratory relief confirming that ITG’s chargebacks are void.
The plaintiff is represented by attorney Steven Zuck of Zuck Legal PLLC. The case was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York under Case ID 1:25-cv-06707.
