Back in 2011 music producer Ryan Leslie was sued by a man in Germany after Ryan failed to pay a promised $1 million reward for the return of his stolen laptop [click here if you missed that].
It's time to pay up...
Ryan Leslie initially refused to pay the reward after the laptop was returned to him wiped clean of the unreleased music he was hoping to retrieve.
After the courts ordered Ryan to pay up he immediately filed for bankruptcy, but his plan may have backfired.
Earlier this month Armin Augstein was awarded the rights and royalty payments from Ryan Leslie's entire catalogue which includes music from Cassie, Mary J. Blige, Usher, Ne-Yo, The Game, New Edition, Danity Kane, Fabolous, Britney Spears and many others.
Armin will retain the rights until the $538k debt is paid in full.
