2. Pras made his bed - However I am annoyed that they left out that he was trying to buy favor in the trump administration

as well as the Obama administration Well, he can always try to buy a pardon from trump, if he has any money left. He was the least talented. Lauryn Hill's voice was the best thing about the group - she still tours to sold out crowds. Wyclef writes, produces for other artists. Pras resorted to crime when the fame went away.


Michel faced charges stemming from his relationship to Jho Low, a Malaysian billionaire accused of stealing $4 billion from a Malaysian sovereign wealth fund.

Back in 2012, prosecutors said Michel used Low's illegal foreign money to buy seats for people at fundraisers for then-President Barack Obama.

Years later, after the FBI started investigating Low for stealing money, Low wanted Michel and others to help him convince the Trump White House to go easy on Low.

One part of that alleged scheme was to try to get Trump to send a dissident living in the U.S. back to China to curry favor with the Chinese government.

Prosecutors said Michel collected about $100 million from Low to try to influence two U.S. presidential administrations.
