Episode Details

Pras Michel, formerly of the Fugees, begins a fourteen-year prison sentence for money laundering and illegal lobbying, following a conviction on ten counts. The case dates back to 2019, involving allegations of funneling cash from Malaysian businessman Jho Low through fake donors to Barack Obamas 2012 campaign, and attempting to block an investigation into Low and pushing for the extradition of a Chinese dissident. Pras team and defense lawyers argue the sentence is excessive, with Pras appealing the decision and filing a lawsuit against his former bandmate Lauryn Hill over a canceled reunion tour.
