RIAA Member Label In Drug Scandal

[GhostShip]

I had thought that although the Cartel was staffed by a bunch of selfish bean counters who do their best to rip off both artist and consumer alike that that was the scope of their activities, it seems I was naive

Earlier this year record label boss Jimmy Rosemond was arrested on the suspicion of leading a massive cocaine trafficking ring. The founder of Czar Entertainment used shipments of music equipment to transfer cocaine across the United States. These shipments went to several music studios, and according to a recent court filing uncovered by The Smoking Gun, Interscope Records is one of them. This suggests that people at the RIAA label were in on the game.

Previously entertainment industry representatives have suggested that piracy can be linked to organized crime, and the above suggests that the same can be said for the music industry.

Interscope records will likely plead ignorance of where all the nose candy went to but then again who wouldn't ?

they found a new way to make ends meet with all that piracy going on


...priceless they got caught but i wonder whats next.... human trafficking in these 'road cases' ?

calling the record labels and hollywood the 'mafiaa' seems more and more appropriate as time goes on.... ....and its unsettling to say the least...

So would we see an increase in size of the 'Other Income' segment of their Pie Chart in their annual business reports?
