It appears that Swizz Beatz’s alleged former position as an executive at what is now the defunct file storage site MegaUpload has gotten him in a little legal trouble. When the suit was first filed, MegaUpload attempted to have it dismissed on the grounds “that they are a foreign corporation and cannot be prosecuted in America.” However, the federal authorities have bounced back with a 20-page motion which cites US Citizens David Robb and Kasseem Dean (Swizz Beatz).

Swizz is being pursued because of beliefs that at some time, he was acting CEO of the company which his attorney says are false. Here is part of the motion itself:

“After Defendant Dotcom became Defendant Megaupload’s Chief Innovation Officer, the company appears to have employed at least two Chief Executive Officers in the United States: first David Robb and then Kasseem David Dean (also known as Swizz Beatz). These individuals represented the company before the Office of the United States Trade Representative (“USTR”) in relation to Megaupload.com’s inclusion on the Notorious Markets Review, and more recently, Mr. Dean through counsel has refused to cooperate with the government’s investigation. Delivering a summons to Mr. Dean, a resident of the United States, in his capacity as apparent Chief Executive Officer should also constitute proper service of process upon an officer of the company.”

We wish Swizz the best in this situation.
