Lawsuit
Crystal Creek Media launched a lawsuit against CMD Distribution for failing to fulfill its contractual financial obligations over the distribution of the movie Creed of Gold. In early 2017 Crystal Creek Media was awarded a judgment against CMD Distribution by the Superior Court of New Hanover County in the state of North Carolina.{{cite web |url=http://www.crystalcreekmedia.com/statement-about-cmd-distribution-inc |title=Statement about CMD Distribution Inc |date=March 8, 2017 |work=Crystal Creek Media |accessdate=March 14, 2017}}
Unfortunately, CMD was in the process of filing bankruptcy at the time due to the collapse of its biggest customer Allegro Media.{{Cite web|url=https://www.hypebot.com/hypebot/2016/06/distributor-allegro-closes-suddenly-leaving-100s-of-indie-labels-in-limbo.html|title = Distributor Allegro Closes, Leaving 100s of Indie Labels in Limbo|date = 10 June 2016}}{{Cite web|url=http://downbeat.com/news/detail/allegro-media-liquidation-drastically-alters-indie-labels-business-plans|title = Allegro Media Liquidation Drastically Alters Indie Labels' Business Plans|date = 28 October 2016}}
