50 Cent's liquor lawsuit leads to suicide threats from alleged conman

Michael Caruso, one of several people sued by 50 Cent in an alleged embezzlement scheme involving Beam Suntory, reportedly threatened to kill himself rather than face the legal fallout from the case. According to AllHipHopThe trouble began when one of the other defendants, Julious Grant, allegedly tried to extort Caruso. “Money (Michael Caruso’s nickname)…you and your partner got fat at my expense…This is how I want it, you will pay me $600,000 by the end of the month. I will consider it severance…If you choose not to do it, I will let Fif know why he was paying such high margarine (sic)…You and your partner don’t want that kind of smoke from Fif,” Grant allegedly wrote to Caruso in a text message.

Another defendant, Mitchell Green, then decided to admit his wrongdoing and called Caruso and others to reveal the plan. Caruso in turn allegedly began to cry and threatened to kill himself if Green carried out his plan.

50 reacted to the report on Instagram on Sunday, sharing a screenshot of the AllHipHop article. In the caption, he wrote, “Go read this article on @allhiphopcom Beam Suntory is changing its name to @suntoryglobalspirits, it's a 20 billion a year company, and they do this kind of shit.” The government must intervene in regulation. the spirits trade. Black-owned businesses can't succeed if they don't have the $70 million that I had to invest in the business.

50 Cent and Sire Spirits are suing for at least $6 million in damages. He is working with renowned civil rights attorney Ben Crump on the case and recently traveled to Washington, DC to discuss the situation with congressional leaders. “Suntory Global Spirits is a $20 billion a year company. When she doesn't follow the rules, she simply pays a fine. Would you mind paying a fine when you make $20 billion a year. I have to fight them, I can’t let them take my money,” 50 Cent said at the time. Be on the lookout for more updates on 50 Cent on Hot and New HipHop.
