\"Memo<\/p>\n

Yesterday, attorney Tyrone Blackburn<\/strong> filed an Opposition to Defendant Roc Nation’s Motion for Sanctions<\/strong>, excoriating Roc Nation<\/strong>, it’s attorney Joseph Tacopina<\/strong>, and TMZ<\/strong>, for a “baseless media campaign surrounding this case.”<\/strong> The filing is bringing to light the latest scam by Jay-Z’s company Roc Nation and its\u00a0attorneys;<\/strong>\u00a0frivolous filings of Rule 11 Motions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Read the filing<\/strong> in it’s entirety here<\/a>. The 15 page motion does not pull any punches<\/strong> when it comes to exposing Roc Nation’s alleged illegal activities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Roc Nation’s “racketeering, trafficking, and related unlawful activity.”<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n

Roc Nation<\/strong> and it’s attorney are being called out for their “transparent attempt to shift the focus from it’s own alleged misconduct to an unwarranted attack on Plaintiff’s counsel.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Attorney Joe Tacopina<\/strong> of the law firm, Tacopina Seigel & DeOreo<\/strong>, is representing Jay-Z’s Roc Nation<\/strong>, in a scathing lawsuit accusing the company of “racketeering, trafficking, and related unlawful activity.”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Fat

“The pleading sets forth specific acts by Roc Nation personnel<\/strong>, including the coordination of financial cover-ups<\/strong>, the laundering of illicit proceeds through corporate accounts<\/strong>, and the provision of resources to conceal ongoing criminal conduct<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

The motion continues: “Roc Nation’s<\/strong> former accountant<\/strong> who corroborated Plaintiff’s claim that Roc Nation<\/strong>, and it’s CEO Desiree Perez<\/strong>, was directly involved in all aspects of Joseph Caragena’s<\/strong> business…”<\/p>\n

Desiree Perez <\/strong>has been accused of a litany of crimes<\/strong>, including running a criminal syndicate<\/a><\/strong> using Roc Nation<\/strong> as its conduit. Perez<\/strong>, a former drug trafficker<\/strong>, was previously convicted of transporting<\/strong> 35 kilos of cocaine<\/strong><\/a>, earning her the nickname “The Shady Lady.<\/strong>” Strong accusations and evidence have tied Perez to drug cartels and organized criminal activity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Roc

“The pleading sets forth specific acts by Roc Nation personnel<\/strong>, including the coordination of financial cover-ups, the laundering of illicit proceeds through corporate accounts, and the provision of resources to conceal ongoing criminal conduct.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Roc Nation (sic) coordinated … to shield criminal activity from law enforcement scrutiny”<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n

“Roc Nation<\/strong>, through it’s leadership and personnel, coordinated with Defendant Cartagena to launder illicit proceeds, shield criminal activity from law enforcement scrutiny, and provide operational cover for the enterprise.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Joseph Tacopina and his partner Harvey [Levin] from TMZ orchestrated a baseless media campaign surrounding this case.”<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n

Memorandum of Law in Opposition to Defendant Roc Nation\u2019s Motion for Sanctions, page 11.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The lawsuit, filed by Terrence Dixon (T.A.)<\/strong> is the latest in a salvo of accusations against Jay-Z and his company Roc Nation<\/strong>, who are being accused of heinous crimes<\/a>, including trafficking, racketeering, money laundering, and other federal crimes<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
