Just a day before this settlement was awarded, Kimble faced another lawsuit that revealed a year of problems arising from Kimble's agreement to become the majority investor in the Grooves Restaurant. At the time federal agents were investigating Kimble for fraud, he was considering investing in a nightclub operation that became Grooves Restaurant, a popular local nightspot.

The lawsuit, filed on Oct. 15 by Kerry Carter and Latonia Jackson says Kimble's promised investment in the nightclub evaporated about the time federal marshals showed up, announcing the club could be subject to seizure because of his alleged Medicare fraud schemes. While the club was being renovated, Kimble was “arrested by the United States Federal Marshal for Medicare/Medicare Fraud of over twenty million dollars,” Carter's lawsuit states.

The lawsuit claims that Kimble agreed to foot 67 percent of the costs for the club's opening in January. He had invested $50,000 by the time federal investigators began asking questions. The federal criminal complaint against Kimble also orders him to forfeit all property and money made off the illegal proceeds of his Medicare fraud.
