Gulenist John Duman, Feridun Yilmaz and Mehmet Haluk Orgun all members of Raindrop Turkish House aka Raindrop Foundation, entered into an agreement in 2016 that shortly went south. The short story is Raindrop known for starting the "after school" and day care teaching for the Texas area, sold Yilmaz and Orgun their "after school" business. Of Course, in the true Gulen fashion they had federal contracts tied to this.
Explained in brief here at SE Texas Record with copy of the court complaint filed below:

HOUSTON – A Harris County man who used to head a local after-school program is suing his former employer and others for wrongfully discharging him almost two months ago.
John Duman’s lawsuit against Zenith Premier, Inc. and shareholders Feridun Yilmaz and Mehmet Haluk Orgun, which was filed on Aug. 5 in the Harris County 295th District Court, alleges the defendants terminated Duman “in violation of law and his employment contract.”
The plaintiff was brought on by nonprofit Raindrop Foundation to serve as CEO of Zenith Learning, which ZPI bought in November 2016. Last August, he signed a contract which guaranteed him an annual salary of nearly $120,000 and ten percent of ZPI’s annual operation profit.
The contract also provided that the plaintiff could not be fired for an illegal reason,” the suit says.
Duman pinpoints his firing to his refusal to discriminate against personnel of Turkish origin, hire a principal’s relative who could not legally work in the U.S., and opposed spending that placed the organization deep in debt.
“These actions were contributing factors to the defendant’s decision to fire him,” the suit says.
Court papers further argue that the termination was retaliatory in nature.
Consequently, Duman seeks unspecified monetary damages.
He is represented by Carter Thompson of Austin.
Harris County 295th District Court Case No. 2018-51999
Raindrop Foundation aka Gulen Movement also operates Blue Bonnet Day Care Centers. The interesting thing is there is no 990 Tax returns filed for any of the Zenith Premier, Inc., Zenith Learning or Zenith Kids (which does have a EIN number filed) However Raindrop Foundation has 990 Tax returns filed with the last one being from 2016
Here is Mr. John Duman Linked in as you can see he worked at the Gulen Harmony Schools killinged.com , The others are camera shy or in the true Gulen form are using fake names. This is but only 1 of the many Gulen lawsuits filed against the movement. Ersun Konkur vs. Utica Academy and Turkish Cultural Center of NY, Metin Demir vs. Magnolia Science Academy, Mustafa Emmanet vs. Horizon Science Academy (Concept Schools) just to name a few - there are many
