To calculate that figure, Hunt’s suit contends that he intended to work 11 more years at the time of his resignation from NAMB. Hunt claims that he received $610,000 in compensation annually—a total of more than $6.7 million for 11 years.
Hunt also claims that the scandal cost him $3.96 million in potential income from future book sales and $3.85 million from future speaking fees. He is seeking $880,000 in other lost income.
Additionally, Hunt is seeking $45 million for harm to his reputation and $45 million for emotional distress.
The trial has been set for June 17 in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. It had originally been set for Nov. 12, 2024, but was delayed during discovery and by ongoing settlement negotiations.
The trial will now come one week after the SBC convenes for its annual meeting in Dallas from June 10-11.
