Politically connected Davie businessman “Alligator” Ron Bergeron has lost his appeal of a Broward judge’s ruling that trash disposal giant Waste Management conspired with Bergeron’s former business partners to destroy his recycling business.

“After a lengthy non-jury trial in a case arising out of a joint venture agreement (JVA), involving multiple parties and multiple counts, the trial court wrote detailed and thoughtful final judgments that found in favor of all defendants on all counts,” a three-judge appeals panel unanimously wrote. “We affirm the final judgments in all respects and write to address issues surrounding a waiver of jury trial contained in the JVA.”
