It seems pretty clearcut that Cain is in the wrong. Also, to be totally honest, I don't like the people Cain hangs out with, or his wife. His attempt to politicize Journey as part of some sort of Trump fan club is bad for the band and it's reputation and, though it's entirely possible to associate with a bunch of people with questionable financial dealings without doing anything wrong in that arena yourself, seeing him being accused of financial wrong-doing is also somehow not surprising to me under the circumstances.
I don't know what his response is going to be in court, but it's hard for me to even think of a reasonable rationale for preventing the guy who owns the other 50% of your band from seeing the expenditures made on behalf of the band.
American Express is hands down the hardest to deal with financial institution that I've ever had to deal with to deal with, so I could see Cain potentially having authorized Schon to view the records and AmEx claiming not to have gotten the the authorization, but even if that's the case, shouldn't Cain or his accountant have paper statements or PDFs that they could make copies of available to Schon, and then pay off and close the account afterwards in favor of a financial institution that actually follows their instructions?
I suspect Cain doesn't want Schon to see this stuff because it's stuff that shows some wrongdoing or is at least questionable (Either legally questionable or just things his bandmate would find irksome) financial activity Cain is conducting with the band's (and by extension partially Schon's) money.
