Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz
As many internet readers know, Megaupload.com was raided by the U.S. FBI, assets were seized and employees taken into custody. The owner of Megaupload.com is eccentric Kim Schmitz, also known as Kim Dotcom. However, the husband of Sony Music singer, Alicia Keys, rapper and producer, Swizz Beatz (Kasseem Dean) is listed as CEO of the company that makes $175,000,000 per year from mass criminal copyright infringement. Amazingly Dean was not arrested, but far be it from the FBI to do such a thing to a star.

While the Judiciary Report does not agree with copyright infringement, especially as the owner of a vast Copyrighted Catalog, I find it quite hypocritical Hollywood was all in a huff over Megaupload, when tinseltown criminally steals more copyrights than any other entity in existence. So basically, what Hollywood is complaining about and pushed the FBI to do something regarding, is Megaupload criminally infringing the copyrights Hollywood criminally stole from other people.
Former presidential candidate and senator, John Edwards, has been indicted on campaign fraud charges that allege bribery and improper use of funds. It all stems from the disastrous affair Edwards conducted with publicity seeking videographer, Rielle Hunter.
She made life difficult for his late wife, Elizabeth Edwards, who died of cancer, by flaunting their affair in her face and doing a number of press interviews about the relationship and the child that sprang from it. It cost Edwards a shot at the presidency, as his name took a battering in the court of public opinion, largely due to Hunter's arrogance towards his sick wife.
The grand jury returned an indictment against Edwards, which led to charges this week. Edwards is proclaiming his innocence, but his pleas are being overshadowed by public view on the turmoil and heartache his wife faced in her last days.
Silvio Berlusconi
The political party of Italy's Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi, 74, took a beating in the local elections, losing a significant number of mayoral seats. Many will blame the trouncing on Berlusconi's ongoing sex scandal, which resulted in criminal charges against him, for teenage prostitution.
Teenage stripper, Karima El Mahroug, is at the center of the Berlusconi sex scandal
Wiretap evidence and bank records, have been used by prosecutors to indict the randy head of state, whose own ex-wife divorced him over his preoccupation with minors. Italy's economy is suffering under the current global downturn and Berlusconi's inability to focus on and turn around the nation's bottom line, in favor of staring at and groping young women's bottoms, has gotten him into trouble at the polls.

Former IMF chief, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who resigned his post when he was arrested and indicted in New York on rape charges, has moved to a luxury townhouse in downtown Manhattan. The $50,000 per month Tribeca rental is even more luxurious than the apartment he fled on 71 Broadway, after the media circus surrounding him became too much for residents of the building.

Another case of life imitating art has surfaced in the arrest and conviction of famed music manager, Jimmy Henchman, real name James Rosemond, who was indicted on massive cocaine charges. Henchman has represented music stars such as Brandy, Akon, Game, Gucci Mane and Shyne, to name a few.
It is alleged Henchman used his management company and recording studio, to traffic large quantities of narcotics in and around America, then distributed the cash proceeds, via an elaborate scheme involving Fedex and rented mail boxes. Money was shipped through the mail, vacuum sealed and coated in mustard, to throw off dogs that sniff mail packages. Henchman's arrest is said to be part of a larger drug probe into rap music.
The entertainment industry is no stranger to entertainers being involved with organized crime. The late Notorious B.I.G. was a drug dealer, who got involved with the Genovese mafia, as confirmed by FBI reports. Former Sony CEO, Tommy Mottola, who was married to singer Mariah Carey, after she broke up his 20-year marriage, bragged of his mafia ties in Vanity Fair.
Rapper 50 Cent was also a drug dealer. Rapper, Jay-Z, another drug dealer, continues to boasts about his debauched life in profane songs. Lastly, pop singer Madonna, has financial ties to the mafia, even dated a member of it as well. In closing, many people in the entertainment industry are always looking to make a fast buck, which often entails breaking the law. What a horrible example to set.

Details Emerge In Jimmy Henchman’s Cocaine Indictment; Mogul To Be Sentenced Next Month
May 17, 2011 - Details are emerging in the federal cocaine conspiracy case against music mogul James “Jimmy Henchman” Rosemond, who is accused of distributing drugs along with several co-defendants. Rosemond is accused of being involved in a drug organization that regularly shipped cocaine in via overnight delivery services and later, road cases used for holding equipment, to recording studios in New York.
Millions of proceeds in cash was then sent back to Los Angeles, using Federal Express and other overnight delivery services as well. The proceeds were then sent back to various mailboxes on the West coast, coated in mustard and vacuum sealed, in order to throw off drug sniffing dogs looking for illegal currency...
Cocaine Probe Targets Rap Music Figures
MAY 17--The Drug Enforcement Administration probe that has ensnared a well-known rap music manager is focusing on the shipment of kilos of cocaine from Los Angeles to New York by a narcotics ring that stashed the drug in “road cases” delivered to recording studios, The Smoking Gun has learned.
Payment for the cocaine was sent back to the West Coast in vacuum-sealed packages that were coated with mustard, the pungent smell of which was intended to conceal from drug-sniffing dogs the scent of narcotics on the currency. To date, the ongoing investigation--which is being overseen by prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Brooklyn--has resulted in felony charges against about six defendants, several of whom are connected to the rap music industry...

Silvio Berlusconi (check out the stud pose)
Indicted Italian Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi, is shaking off claims he is a womanizer, by stating he could not have sex with 33 women, because he is 75-years-old. Well, that's where the Viagra came in, now didn't it.
Karima El Mahroug is one of the 33 reasons Berlusconi is taking Viagra
I have painstakingly researched this topic, using Nobel Prize recognized methods, in compiling extensive scientific data on the subject a "Golden Girls" episode. Being in one's 70's does not mean one cannot have sex often. Viagra is rolling in dough, due to this fact.

A visibly ailing, Jean-Claude Duvalier, made his way from France back to his homeland of Haiti, only to be arrested hours after he touched down, for human rights abuses committed when he was President of the island nation.
At the age of 19, Jean-Claude succeeded his father, Francois Duvalier, as President of Haiti. He was unprepared for the role his father appointed him to, as he was not duly elected by the people and knew very little about successfully running a nation.
Jean-Claude Duvalier was ensconced in office from 1971-1986. During his bloody reign, over 60,000 Haitians were tortured and killed for opposing his rule. Duvalier and his money loving wife, Michele Bennett, looted Haiti's coffers to fund their very extravagant lifestyles.
The couple frequently took shopping trips, spending $100,000 on each outing. While they lived the high life, a segment of Haiti's population suffered in poverty and infirmity in City Soleil, which was originally named after his mother Simone Duvalier (Cite Simone).
Jean-Claude Duvalier in Haiti this week
Duvalier is being made to face the music this week and is a shell of his former self. He has the appearance of someone struggling with Parkinsons disease or Alzheimer's. It is a stark contrast to the Duvalier of 1986.
When he and his family fled Haiti for France, after a national uprising, Louis Vuitton bags lined the runway adjacent to their plane. They had pilfered millions of dollars from Haiti's treasury, only for it to be seized by world governments.
Duvalier, a former head of state, was humbled, forced to find work as a janitor in France to support himself. It was just and poetic, for all he and his family had stolen from the people of Haiti.
By this time, his wife had fled, stating she married the President of Haiti and not a pauper. During times of adversity, one learns who one's true friends are. His mother died embittered, after years of being pushed aside in favor of his wife's presence in his government, then losing their stolen possessions.
