According to the NY Post, the 46-year-old was found leaving the W Hotel in New York City’s Union Square. He tried to outrun agents before he was finally arrested on 21st Street and Park Ave. South.
The media mogul, who manages Akon and Brandy, will be arraigned later today in Brooklyn Federal Court. Two informants who were “high-ranking members of Rosemond’s organization” aided the probe, which investigated his involvement in shipping hundreds of kilos of cocaine from the West Coast to New York.

UPDATE: According to the Wall Street Journal, Rosemond has pleaded "not guilty to intentionally conspiring to distribute and possess with intent to distribute five kilograms or more of cocaine, witness tampering and obstruction of justice." He is currently being held without bond.
"This indictment was built on the backs of witnesses that have been threatened and bribed by federal prosecutors," said his lawyer, Jeffrey Lichtman. "And I plan to expose all of it. If the government wants a fight, they’re going to get a fight." (hiphopdx.com)
I wish him all the best.
Hopefully the WHOLE truth comes out! Is it me or did Puff seem a lil edgy at the BET awards. And after he received that award, I never saw him again...
ReplyDeleteYea, the truth would come out soon. And about puffy, I guess I will av to go and watch the b.e.t awards on youtube or something, cos I missed it. There has been a lot of talk of puff's involvement, but I dont really see him as someone capable of such.
