(Crankers) Looks like Fugees rapper Pras Michel KILLING HIS FREEDOM SOFTLY WITH HIS DONATIONS TO THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN!
OMG WHAT A DUMMY THIS GUY IS!!
The Grammy-winning rapper got SLAMMED in court and sentenced to 14 years in federal prison after being convicted of funneling foreign money into the 2012 re-election campaign of Barack Obama.
In April 2023, a federal jury found Michel guilty on 10 counts including conspiracy to defraud the United States, acting as an unregistered foreign agent, and campaign-finance violations. Prosecutors said Michel accepted more than $120 million from Malaysian financier Low Taek Jho (also known as “Jho Low”), then funneled some of the money into the Obama campaign through about 20 straw donors.
It’s crazy that someone who’s already famous would even consider doing something this stupid. And who’s in jail for it? He is, not Obama.
During the trial, high-profile witnesses appeared, including actor Leonardo DiCaprio and former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, testifying to the international scope of Michel’s scheme and its ties to alleged embezzlement from Malaysia’s 1MDB fund. It’s not clear if Leonardo DiCaprio was looking around for girls under 25 at the time, nor is it relevant to the Fugees guy going to the slammer.
In handing down the sentence, U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar‑Kotelly required Pras Michel to serve 14 years AND to forfeit nearly $64 million. His attorney described the sentence as “completely disproportionate to the offense,” while prosecutors argued it reflected the “breadth and depth” of Michel’s wrongdoing.
Imagine having $64 million in the bank and being this much of an idiot.
NEVER DONATE OR HELP A POLITICIAN. THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU.
Obama should’ve given this guy a pre-pardon on the way out, but he didn’t, and now Pras is going to jail for 14-years for helping the idiot who destroyed healthcare for the middle class. Yeah, you know Obamacare sucks.
Michel will appeal the verdict and the sentence. He must report to prison in the coming weeks. The case marks one of the most significant convictions of a celebrity connected to campaign-finance and foreign-influence schemes in U.S. history.
With $64 million, he should run and try to be a refugee in a country that won’t extradite him.
At this point, what’s he got to lose?
What did helping Obama do for him?
NOTHING!
