Hall of Fame Legend Jim Kelly Set to Return to the Buffalo Bills in a New Role That Has Fans Excited About a True Buffalo Rebirth

Kansas City, Missouri – January 2026 Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes’ trendy Kansas City steakhouse, 1587 Prime, has found itself at the center of a controversy after a lawsuit alleged that its business partners, Tosh Berman and Michael Tanha, siphoned millions of dollars from the company and “extorted” their legal counsel during a critical time when the attorney was fighting blood cancer. The lawsuit, filed by Matthew Syken, the former general counsel of the restaurant’s parent company Noble 33, claims that Berman and Tanha engaged in fraudulent activity while Syken was on medical leave for cancer treatment. According to Syken, the two allegedly misappropriated funds from a deal with a gift card company, inKind, which had paid Noble 33 millions in advance for store credits redeemable at their chain of restaurants. Syken claims that after he uncovered the financial irregularities and confronted Berman and Tanha, they retaliated by withholding his pay, firing him, and canceling his medical insurance during his recovery. He further accuses them of threatening his legal career in an attempt to silence him, adding to the emotional and financial strain he was already facing. “I had no choice but to speak up. I’ve been through enough, and I thought it was my responsibility to make sure Noble 33 was operating fairly. To be fired in such a cruel manner, especially while fighting cancer, is something I’ll never forget. The truth needs to come out,” Syken stated. Kelce and Mahomes, both of whom have had stakes in 1587 Prime, have not been named as defendants in the lawsuit, and sources close to the two superstars say they were unaware of the alleged misconduct. Despite the controversy, Kelce and Mahomes have continued to promote the restaurant as a high-end destination for fans and celebrities alike. The lawsuit, which has gained significant media attention, claims that Berman and Tanha used the inKind gift card deal to generate upfront cash that was allegedly funneled into their private accounts, while Syken’s attempts to uncover the scheme were met with hostility. Berman and Tanha have denied all wrongdoing, accusing Syken of embezzling funds himself, but the lawsuit continues to unfold as the legal battle intensifies. With a history of Super Bowl victories and major endorsements, both Kelce and Mahomes now find themselves linked to a serious legal battle that threatens the future of their restaurant venture. As the case progresses, many are wondering whether 1587 Prime can withstand the controversy and whether the public image of the two stars will be affected by the ongoing legal issues.
