Gertmenian is known for being sued for fraud by the Jockeys' Guild after being ousted as president. The Jockeys' Guild alleged in a civil lawsuit filed that Gertmenian used his consulting firm and another company owned by a family member to embezzle funds from the labor organization's members and the guild health-care plan.[2]

A U.S. House of Representatives subcommittee looking at jockey health and welfare issues was sharply critical of Gertmenian's management of the Jockey's Guild. Congress had concerns about Mr. Gertmenian himself, and his tendency to embellish.[3][4] Gertmenian's resume includes references that he was chief détente negotiator in the Nixon and Ford administrations, references that could not be confirmed by Congress or the Department of Defense.[5][6]

Gertmenian also recorded the audio program "Everything's Negotiable".[7][8]
