Carl A. Moore, who represents V Live, the club where he was robbed, doesn’t believe Mr. Harden was involved at all.
"“I don’t believe Mr. Harden was at the club, and I definitely don’t believe he had anything to do with an attack on Mr. Malone,” Moore said. “And so the club’s position is that Mr. Malone is a regular of the club. We would have done everything we could to make sure he was safe.”"
