\n\tPras<\/a> Michel has dropped his lawsuit against his Fugees<\/a> group-mate Lauryn Hill<\/a>, where he accused her of \u201cmisrepresent[ing] critical financial information\u201d as part of a \u201cveiled and devious attempt to make a big score for herself.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tIn a March 11 filing in the United States District Court Southern District of New York, obtained by Rolling Stone<\/em>, it states, \u201cThe\u2026action [is] dismissed without prejudice, with each party to bear his, her or its own expenses, costs, and attorney\u2019s fees.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tLawyers for both Michel and Hill did not immediately return Rolling Stone<\/em>\u2018s requests for comment.<\/p>\n \n\tIt\u2019s unclear why exactly Michel took this step a year-and-a-half after initiating the legal action, but it\u2019s likely related to the fact that he\u2019s about to start a 14-year prison sentence<\/a>. That legal matter began with a 2019 indictment accusing Michel of making illegal contributions to Barack Obama\u2019s 2012 reelection campaign. Two years later, charges were added that included bank fraud, concealment of material facts, witness tampering, violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act, and acting as an unregistered agent of the People\u2019s Republic of China.<\/p>\n
