There's never a such thing as "easy money" .... Do you really think vh1 and complex are paying high figures ?? (complex couldn't pay to keep Joe and he helped with their brand )
How many black executives are controlling the industry?? These dudes take legal money and flip it - That industry income they get is not steady money.. depending on the type of investments they make, they can become comfortable enough but nothing is guaranteed. Not saying they aren't doing other ventures; there's high and lows, not to mention family they take care of, expenses, overhead, day to day, accounting .. For example, If they invest in any publicly traded corp, or real estate properties, they have to disclose info to the banks - the banks in turn, have to report to the govt, red flag if they can't account for the money earned .
Juelz is facing 20yrs...No disrespect but some of y'all live in your own little world, everything is not a paper trail. 10 for the weapons charges and it's elevated bc he's a convicted felon off the prior charge. NJ already dropped the state charges, (not saying he did but he could have offered up to have the state drop those but then again , fed law supersedes state so he may not gave any info at that point ). He already plead guilty and word is that he's looking at 2-5. Over/under on that depends. You do the math. Juelz in March, Jimmy in August, Mel in November, now Ro in December- not to mention the names not released or those affiliated not as high profile - 12 members of the mac baller brims got arrested in April, in November - 15 long island bloods ... too much activity all over the course of this year,compared to last year, for any of it to not be situational. Jimmy is not snitching bc he's top tier,if anything he's the one being snitched on. Cam is hands off.
