50 Cent wants his money (and it’s not cents)

50 Cent is preparing to collect assets from a man who owes him $6.2 million following a lawsuit the rapper won.

Fast forward to September 2021, Fifty-owned Sire Spirits has filed a lawsuit against Mitchell Green, the former brand manager, over the $2.2 million he received in under-the-table kickbacks from 2018 to 2020.

A year later, in October 2022, the court found Green guilty of liability to Sire Spirits for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, fraud and unjust enrichment.

David Vencl, a 40-year-old Czech free diver, broke the world record with a 170-foot deep dive in a frozen lake. Of course, his name appears in the Guinness bible for this feat.

This feat was achieved in a single breath in the depths of the lake of Sils, Switzerland, without any diving suit. After 1 minute and 54 seconds, he came out of the hole, spat blood and opened a bottle of champagne.
