Nearly a year ago, a judge ordered Ryan Leslie to pay the $1 million reward for the recovery of his stolen laptop.
Leslie reneged on the promise after Armin Augustein, a German man, found the laptop. Leslie would go on to explain that the reason he didn’t pay the money was because the music on his machine wasn’t there. Augustein later filed a federal lawsuit in New York City, which he won. However, Leslie apparently hasn’t paid up.
That’s why New York City marshals have seized the singer-songwriter’s 2010 Cadillac Escalade, which will go for auction on Monday (September 9), reports NYPost.com.
Though the jury in last year’s case ordered Leslie to pay the finder’s fee, Leslie has apparently paid only $5,000 thus far.
Court documents claim that Leslie’s performances make hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The marshals seized Leslie’s SUV on August 8, and thus far no other property has been taken.
An ad for the auction says that the vehicle features power steering, power windows, DVD players, and third-row seating.

You’d think that a Harvard education would be good to fall back on cuz his music don’t make money.
you obviously have no knowledge of the music he’s put out if you don’t it makes money.

really…
..lol….
power steering? that nigga was BALLING!
I don’t care about this dude at all, but he really got screwed on this whole deal.
This fool look like a failed version of a cloned Joe Budden
Ha, like the cloning process broke down 3/4 of the way through
Better dip into them Swiss Francs
lol @ hw
still kinda fvcked up son gettin bullied for that mil just because he ain’t ask for the laptop back WITH the music
Goes back to the old adage about writing checks that your ass can’t cash. You can believe if I’m fronting a mil, there’s gonna be all kinds of stipulations in place to assure I come out winning. And if I lose, I gotta man up. R Les really can’t catch a break tho
I’ve always liked Leslie’s music but man dude is just taking all sorts of L’s lately. Almost feel sorry for him…
shoulda been specific about the reward details dummy,. looks like your taking a million dollar L r. less
He’s one of the realest niggas on the streets. Boss gotta have everything intact and it wasn’t so fuck that other dude.
Aubrey Budden or Joe Graham
He looks like their love-child
Damn. They ain’t playin bout homie money…What kinda clout he got to get New York City Marshals involved? Or maybe they go after everybody who owes a mil or more like that?
You’re not lying! Having the Marshalls involved is messed up…This dude has some coulds headed his way…
lol, fag gotta pay up
That German guy should be on him like a loan shark.
I think the judge should have given R-Les a brake. Thats like me putting out a reward for my stolen car and someone returns it to me completely gutted with no rims….
except all you said when you offered the reward was that you wanted the car back, nothing about no rims or stereo aka files and music
that is a bad analogy. i would say it is a like a car being returned with out its radio and your rap demo. he wanted the laptop back and got it back. he should have specified in the reward that the information on the hard drive had to be intact or some sh*t.
if i returned the laptop i would want the reward too
But in the reward, you never said you wanted the car fully intact. That is why he lost in court. When it comes to law and/or the courts. Words matter.
AUGUST 8 AS A MONTH AGO… YALL ONLY FOUND OUT NOW??
RYAN LESLIE IS A CORNBALL.

Im a broke ass nigga
An old ass LAC? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Good Luck with that, they are almost trying to give those away now. I can get a 2010 Escalade for about$11,000 from the dealership if you like pumping $120.00 in gas in that rig every 4 days….
Dude, get your cash out the bank for now ASAP and start transferring assets over to your mama’s name or something. An old lac won’t do. Sounds like this dude could start putting a lien on all your assets and where its available, they’ll start seizing. Get all your cash out, cash out any stocks, bonds, whatever you might own and if you own a home with no mortgage, sell it! In the mean time, maybe you need to start negotiating with this dude and hopefully, he’ll settle for like a hundred large. And hopefully, you’ve learned a lesson. WTF were you thinking?
SO WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MUSIC IN THE LAPTOP? IS THE GERMAN DUDE CRAZY? WHY WOULD ANYONE PAY $1MILL TO GET A LAPTOP THAT PROB. COST LIKE $800? I BET IF THE FINDER WAS BLACK AND RYAN WAS FULLY WHITE COPS WOULD BE PROSECUTING THE GERMAN DUDE FOR
1. HANDLING STOLEN ITEM
2. THEFT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
3. INTENT TO CON N BLACKMAIL
4. INTENT TO SELL THE SAID INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
5. WILLFUL INTENT TO EXHORT MONEY
This is so damn stupid man. This is where common sense needs to come into play. They should award the german guy the value of the computer. No person in their right mind would offer a mil for the shell of a computer. That judge is an asshole for going along with that jury. What kind of fucking jury awards something like this? Shit like this gets my blood pressure all out of whack man
