In 2007, Vega agreed to Fulcrum's acquisition of Amigo Energy. Vega was to remain onboard as president and CEO of Amigo Energy, and would become senior vice president of Fulcrum Energy. When Vega was terminated without cause in 2008, Fulcrum kept Amigo Energy and refused to compensate Vega for his interest in the company. Vega filed suit, seeking a return of the value of his equity in the company, as well as unpaid salary and bonus. On August 1, 2011, a Houston jury unanimously voted in Vega's favor, with damages and fees expected to total more than $3 million.
