Beenie Man cleared of tax evasion in Jamaica

Tue Sep 30, 11:26 PM ET

A Jamaican judge has cleared Grammy-winning musician Beenie Man of tax-evasion charges, saying the government never informed him of his legal rights.
Jamaican authorities have said the singer and rapper owed nearly US$1 million in overdue taxes.
But Judge Owen Parkin threw out the case Tuesday, ruling evidence showed the entertainer was not informed of his rights when auditors issued their assessment last year.
The singer's real name is Anthony Moses Davis. The Kingston native has been one of the biggest names in dancehall music for a decade. In 2001, he won a Grammy for his album "Art and Life."

That case couldn't work from the start.

They used gueswork to come up with a figure in the first place after taking a look at how many stage shows he has been at and then trying to put interest on it.
Is shocking vibes was in charge of that part of the man thing and them and the ministry did done work out something before the change in govt.
