Murder Inc. Records
On January 26, 2005, Murder Inc Records CEO Irv Gotti was arrested and indicted on money laundering charges. The United States Attorney's Office in New York accused Gotti (born Irving Lorenzo) along with his brother Christopher of laundering over $1 million in cash through their label for ‘80s drug lord, “Kenneth “Supreme” McGriff. The indictment also alleged the Gotti bros obtained funds from an unnamed record company for McGriff's personal use.

Outcome: On December 2, 2005, the Gotti brothers were found not guilty of federal money laundering charges.

    All you have to do is look at the name, "Sucka", "Da", "1st & 15", etc., and you know what's up with that and you truly talented artists, stay away from these fronts. Not only will they rip you off with their ghetto high jinx and they will dis-credit you. So now ask yourself, who's worst? The black or white companies?
