50 Cent’s Spirits Lawsuit Leads To Suicide Threat From Alleged Scammer
Michael Caruso, one of several people 50 Cent is suing in an alleged embezzlement scheme regarding Beam Suntory, reportedly threatened to commit suicide rather than deal with the legal fallout from the case. According to AllHipHop, the problems began when one of the other defendants, Julious Grant, allegedly tried to extort Caruso. “Money [Michael Caruso’s nickname]…you and your partner have been getting fat at my expense…This is how I want this to work you guys by months end will pay me 600k. I’ll consider this a walk away severance… If you chose not to do so I will… let Fif know the reason he was paying such high margarine [sic]…You and your partner do t [sic] want that kind of smoke from Fif,” Grant reportedly wrote to Caruso in a text message.
Another defendant, Mitchell Green, then decided to admit to wrongdoing and phoned up Caruso and others to reveal the plan. In turn, Caruso allegedly began crying and threatened to commit suicide if Green went through with it.

He’s working with renowned civil rights attorney Ben Crump on the case and recently traveled to Washington D.C. to discuss the situation with congressional leaders. “Suntory Global Spirits is a $20 billion a year company, when they don’t follow compliance they just pay a fine.
