A bitter fight over control of an online pharmacy has left hundreds of customers waiting for orders that may never arrive, with Hanieh Sigari now demanding a court-appointed receiver to salvage what's left of Qyral.
Sigari blames co-founder Darius Banasik for draining company accounts and freezing her out of operations. She claims he's misappropriated nearly $300,000 while the company hemorrhages money—over 800 orders sit unfilled, employees haven't been paid, and vendors are owed cash.
The problem: third-party payment processors hold an estimated $450,000 that could keep Qyral afloat, but they're refusing to release it without clearer court orders about who actually owns the company. On April 5th, Sigari filed a motion asking the judge to tighten the existing Temporary Restraining Order so these financial gatekeepers finally comply.
"The company will fail unless immediate action is taken," Sigari declared in her court filing.
The damage is mounting daily. Sigari says the company owes pharmacies, employees, and vendors at least $350,000 collectively. Refunds to customers are piling up in the tens of thousands of dollars. The online reviews are tanking. Meanwhile, Banasik allegedly keeps dangling settlement offers whenever Sigari pushes to restore access to the frozen accounts, even taunting her in text messages about a $200,000 Shopify debt.
"I am not prepared to negotiate with someone who is basically holding a gun to my head," Sigari wrote.
When the judge heard arguments on April 9th, she didn't immediately expand the restraining order. Instead, the court took the matter under submission and ordered Banasik to file his own motion requesting a receiver by noon the next day.
Before that deadline passed, both sides suddenly agreed to something: create an escrow account to temporarily hold the disputed funds while the court considers whether a receiver should take over Qyral entirely. The judge approved the stipulation the same day.
That escrow account buys time. But time may be something Qyral doesn't have. With hundreds of unshipped orders, unpaid staff, and vendors demanding payment, the company's window to survive is narrowing fast. A court-appointed receiver would have clear authority to unfreeze those accounts and get the business running again—assuming there's still a business left to save.
