July 2 (Reuters) - Ronald Perelman enriched himself and his private equity firm by diverting as much as $175 million from Ira Rennert's Renco Group, according to a lawsuit by Renco, deepening a dispute between the billionaire investors.
The legal fight stems from a 2004 agreement in which a unit of Perelman's MacAndrews and Forbes Holding Inc bought a majority stake in truckmaker AM General, which had been wholly owned by Renco.
As part of that agreement, Renco retained all profits generated by an AM General business called General Engine Products LLC, which made diesel engines for Humvee military vehicles, according to the complaint, which was filed late Friday in Delaware's Court of Chancery.
The lawsuit accused Perelman and his private equity firm of siphoning money from the engine maker through purported royalties, excessive management fees and unrelated development costs.
A spokeswoman for MacAndrews and Forbes declined to comment.
The Renco lawsuit echoes claims MacAndrews and Forbes made against Rennert's firm last month. Perelman's firm accused Renco of enriching itself at the expense of MacAndrews and Forbes through a separate jointly owned company that was created as part of the AM General deal.
The case is Renco Group Inc v MacAndrews AMG Holdings LLC et al, Delaware Court of Chancery, No. 7668.

Problem: HP Printer not connecting to my laptop.
I had an issue while connecting my 2 year old HP printer to my brother's laptop that I had borrowed for starting my own business. I used a quick google search to fix the problem but that did not help me.
I then decided to get professional help to solve my problem. After having received many quotations from various companies, i decided to go ahead with Online Tech Repair (www.onlinetechrepairs.com).
Reasons I chose them over the others:
1) They were extremely friendly and patient with me during my initial discussions and responded promptly to my request.
2) Their prices were extremely reasonable.
3) They were ready and willing to walk me through the entire process step by step and were on call with me till i got it fixed.
How did they do it
1) They first asked me to state my problem clearly and asked me a few questions. This was done to detect any physical connectivity issues with the printer.
2) After having answered this, they confirmed that the printer and the laptop were functioning correctly.
3) They then, asked me if they could access my laptop remotely to troubleshoot the problem and fix it. I agreed.
4) One of the tech support executives accessed my laptop and started troubleshooting.
5) I sat back and watched as the tech support executive was navigating my laptop to spot the issue. The issue was fixed.
6) I was told that it was due to an older version of the driver that had been installed.
My Experience
I loved the entire friendly conversation that took place with them. They understood my needs clearly and acted upon the solution immediately. Being a technical noob, i sometimes find it difficult to communicate with tech support teams. It was a very different experience with the guys at Online Tech Repairs. You can check out their website www.onlinetechrepairs.com or call them on 1-914-613-3786.
Would definitely recommend this service to anyone who needs help fixing their computers.
Thanks a ton guys. Great Job....!!
