(Courtesy Keller Williams) John Davis, a Coloradan who ran the real estate brokerage franchisor Keller Williams for a few years in the late 2010s, said the Austin, TX-based company 'can only be likened to a criminal enterprise.' In a lengthy new lawsuit filed in Texas, Davis makes use of Mafia verbiage — calling co-founder Gary Keller 'the godfather of the syndicate,' for example — and pillories the company he ran as a 'fraudulent, illegal business' with a 'pyramid scheme-type playbook.
