Bey and Jays Problem - Hedonic Treadmill

More lies. Last I read he offered Aspiro 56 million but no deal has been signed. If this deal goes through one has to wonder how smart it is to spend almost 60 million bucks on a technology market that's already been cornered by Apple and Spotify? Shawn needs to get over it, Dre has beaten him to the punch.

I still think this is a lie. Jay Z does not have 56 million to buy anything (he can buy a company but can't pay his tab with the private jet they hire till they drag him to court? Camel, please). And if you'll notice, in the business world, when tech companies are on the rise,  they are snapped up by larger companies, like google or yahoo. When they are on the decline, then they a sold off to gullible individuals like Jay Z.

LMAO, Jay doesn't rent his jet because he's too busy leasing other people's jets.

I have a sneaking suspicion Shawn is getting loans from the Russians to fund his business "ventures". We know the Russians are the last people anyone wants to do business with but it would explain why the Carters are still working so hard to earn money and why people are so afraid of them.

They don't have to go to Russia, the Russian mafia is alive and thriving in New York + else wear. IMO I do not believe Camel-man is "partners" with the Russians. They do not suffer fools such as JayZoo. He may have borrowed money from them but that's all. All hell will break loose if JZ does not pay them back.

"Organized Crime has existed in Russia (former Soviet Union) for centuries. Under the communist regime corruption was as normal in Russia as snow falling during the winter. One of the big money makers for the Russian criminals was selling Western products on the black market, a market they controlled in the 1970s and 80s.

It was also during this time that there was a wave of Russian émigrés who fled to North America. Most of these émigrés were Jewish, however a lot of Russians faked a Jewish passport, among them Russian criminals. Most of the Russians settled in Brighton Beach in New York, which has the largest Russian population outside of Russia.

When the Soviet Union fell apart, Russian organized crime was unleashed unto the world. Russian organized crime can now be found everywhere, from the US to Israel to Spain and England. The Russians can be considered to be among the most powerful criminals in the world.

Russian criminals are active in: Fraud, transnational money laundering, extortion, drug trafficking, weapon smuggling, auto theft, white slave trafficking/prostitution, hostage taking, extortion of immigrant celebrities and sport figures, transportation of stolen property for export, insurance and medical fraud, counterfeiting, credit card fraud, and murder."

Well they probably owe all their legitimate resources money so the next step is to turn to organized crime for funds. The Italian mob is pretty much over, the Asians aren't going to deal with them so that pretty much leaves the Russians. OC members like investing in entertainers because it's a legitimate way to launder their money. The Carters get money and protection and the Russians have a legal stream of income. I wouldn't be surprised if the Russians were behind the cover up of Shawn's gf who threatened to tell all and the strange demise of their bodyguard. Of course this is just a theory on my end, I don't know anything for sure.
