MADTOWN also transferred to the new agency. In March 2017, the CEO of GNI Ent was arrested for fraud. Jota was engaged in the promotion of the group and participated in the show, he was also forced to take the staff home and pay all expenses from his own pocket, to make a schedule for the group. 800 people suffered because of the crimes of the head of the agency and the court seized all the property of the company in order to pay the penalty. In June, the group was forced to leave the hostel. All staff left the agency, but participants were still bound by contracts that ended only in 2021. In September 2017, MADTOWN filed a contract cancellation claim and won the case in November.
