Damon Dash from Jay-Z from Roc-A-Fella Records could lose everything

The ex-Jay-Z partner and the co-founder of Roc-A-Fella Records, Damon Dash, could lose everything or even in prison-after he had supposedly tried to pay the creditors $ 1 million, hide money, destroy and refuse to meet court commands.

The washed-out rap-mogul has supposedly tried to avoid that spend a few judgments from the Federal Court in Manhattan by saying that he has no-not one of the striking jewelry that he has worn for decades.

But the obvious hopes of Dash to avoid the payments were overthrown when the judges were either the music or handcuffs of a US marshal in each of the cases on Monday.

“If the accused did not meet,” judge Robert Lehrburger wrote in his decision, “the court will find accused in contempt and can issue an arrest warrant against Mr. Dash” in order to bring him to court to answer the claims.

Dash supposedly in this lawsuit, a defamation of the filmmaker Josh Webber, has given up a judgment of almost $ 900,000 by raising slow demands for the unveiling of his assets, since a jury found him guilty in 2022.

“He does not apply the evidence for the companies he claims to have his tax returns,” says lawyer Chris Brown, who represents webber another customer with a case against Dash.

The fallen producer was also torn in this lawsuit by a federal judge – who decided that Dash evidence “very relevant for current and future litigation”.

In this case, Dash was accused by Jilted author Edwyna Brooks to hide fraudulent money in order to pay her a judgment of almost $ 100,000.

Brooks, who won an earlier case of 300,000 US dollars against Dash in 2020, was looking for the judgment from a failed contrast he had submitted, but claimed that he had hidden his assets in a network of corporate transfer.

“There is no sensible way to heal this prejudice that did not award the allocation of delay judges,” wrote Richter Radkoff on Monday and decided in favor of Brooks, which is also represented by Brown.

The lawyer, who claimed that he was also 125,000 US dollars in his own defamation against Dash, said that the recutation manager had to appear and admit that he has unusual DUDs that could be received for the payment of the judgments.

“He says:” I don’t know whose necklace is around my neck. I don’t know who the diamond clock is. I do not know whose diamond earrings are in my ears, “said Brown to The Post.” I show him that he was wearing the rock a fella chains that were manufactured in the early 2000s. He says he doesn’t know who has it. “

The alleged delay tactics from Dash seems to concentrate on the intention of being able to register bankruptcy.

Even if Dash finally registers bankruptcy, Brown said he will find out how the former mayor of New York City, Rudy Giuliani, “does not allow bankruptcy laws to dismiss these debts” because they were part of an “deliberate unauthorized action”.

The lawyer Natraj S. Bhushan wrote that his lawyer Natraj S. Bhushan wrote in court in order to ask the difficult DASH in order to ask for permission to ask for permission.

Lehrburger, who threatened the dash with arrest, wrote that he would not allow his lawyers immediately to the dash -dash immediately to jettisone dash, since his commitment to the “moving out and away of the enforcement procedure” is part of a “strategy”.

“In addition, there is no reason to assume that the accused would work with the new lawyer more than with the current lawyer, who represented the accused in these proceedings since their beginning about six years ago,” wrote Lehrburger.

What seems to be a simple arrangement has a significant impact on DASH – the approximately 5 million US dollar owes out of outstanding legal judgments, said Brown.

The lawyer said that the default judgment granted him and granted her claim that the company has created Dash in order to allegedly hide its assets and avoid judgments that have interpreted a fraudulent transfer of assets.

“Everyone said we have no money,” said Brown. “Now I can collect all my other judgments.”

Brown also represents Webber in a case in California in which a judge granted him 4 million US dollars last month.

Representatives of Dash did not respond to a request for comment.

Dash and the famous Brooklyn rapper Jay-Z was a co-founder of ROC-A-Fella records in 1994, who scored goals such as “Hard Knock Life” and “99 Problems”, but were geared towards finances since then.

Last autumn, New York State bought the share of Dash to Rock-A-Fella Records on an auction for $ 1 million to collect the $ 8.7 million in the state in back taxes.
