Allegation Notice
Mr. Soura is a defendant in a pending civil action. Everything below describing his conduct is an
allegation made by the plaintiffs in filed pleadings — much of it expressly pleaded “upon information and belief” — and is
not a finding of any court. Mr. Soura is entitled to dispute every allegation, and his responsive filings will be published here when publicly available. He may also submit corrections or a statement for publication; see
Mission & Standards.
Identification
According to the Verified Complaint, Scott Soura is, upon information and belief, a natural person and citizen of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. (Verified Complaint ¶9.) Public reporting has associated Mr. Soura with Roundhill Group LLC’s 2020 acquisition of the Remington firearms business.
Role as Described in the Public Record
The Verified Complaint alleges that Soura “at all relevant times acted as the de facto controller of the enterprise centered at the LaGrange Manufacturing Facility and as the principal decision-maker for Roundhill Group LLC and its affiliates.” (¶9.)
Principal Allegations
Among the allegations directed at Soura in the Verified Complaint — each an unproven claim of the plaintiffs — are the following:
- Corporate opacity. That the ownership and inter-relationships of at least nine related entities were deliberately concealed from prospective investors and counterparties, and that Soura admitted ownership of the operating entities was transferred to defeat successor-liability theories under Georgia law. (¶¶1-A, 3.)
- The ownership disclosure. That at the closing-document stage Soura stated he held no ownership interest in the operating company, which he said had been sold approximately two years earlier to his then-girlfriend Virginie Boutin and an individual he identified as her mother — and that no documentation of that sale was ever produced despite repeated requests. (¶3.)
- Job-count representations. That Soura participated in soliciting Georgia economic-development incentives supported by an 856-job public representation that was materially inconsistent with internal plans projecting fewer than 200 employees. (¶¶26–31.)
- Selective payment of creditors. That Soura applied unilateral criteria for deciding which trade creditors would be paid, leaving a growing backlog exceeding 250 unpaid creditors. (¶¶32–33.)
- Draw 9. That Soura caused a construction-loan draw designated for identified contractors to be diverted, and described the affected contractors as having been “paid enough.” (¶¶50–51.)
- Solicitations to participate in fraud. That on at least four occasions Soura solicited Ripley to participate in fraudulent conduct directed at creditors, which Ripley refused. (¶4, §IV.K.)
- Self-dealing secured positions. That Soura is the de facto principal of the entities described as “SIFT” (~$20 million senior secured position) and “Western Rock” (~$10 million second lien), alleged to be self-dealing interests subject to equitable subordination. (¶¶20–21, §IV.F.)
Soura is named in Counts I–V and VII–X of the Verified Complaint, including the fraud, conspiracy, voidable-transfer, conversion, civil-theft, and Georgia RICO counts.
Statements Attributed in the Record
The Verified Complaint attributes several statements to Soura, including an October 14, 2025 text message concerning potential chargebacks against contractor work (¶51) and remarks about local officials and creditors (¶31). These attributions are the plaintiffs’ allegations; the underlying communications have not been tested in court.
Response
As of this site’s last update, no responsive pleading by Mr. Soura in the Troup County action was available to this repository. Roundhill Group LLC — of which the complaint alleges Soura is the principal decision-maker — has separately sued Ripley and others in Delaware federal court, asserting NDA-breach claims. Both sides’ filings will be published as obtained.
