Pras Michel Loses $64 Million in Foreign Influence Scandal

In a jaw-dropping turn of events, Fugees rapper Pras Michel has been ordered to forfeit $64 million. A federal judge ruled that this hefty sum is linked to his criminal activities.

Michel’s troubles stem from a scheme involving foreign influence that defrauded the United States. The rapper was found guilty of serious charges, leaving his reputation in tatters.

This isn’t just a minor hiccup; it’s a significant fall from grace for the hip-hop star. Michel reportedly funneled money from a Malaysian financier to sway U.S. politics. Talk about high-stakes drama.

In court, Michel tried to downplay his actions, but the judge was not buying it. "The proceeds from these crimes are staggering," the judge said, hitting the point home.

With $64 million now out of reach, Michel’s future is looking less like a rap star and more like a cautionary tale. Who knew the streets could lead to such a legal mess?
