Ryan Leslie Sued for Not Forking Over $1 Million

When Ryan Leslie had his laptop stolen during a tour through Cologne, Germany back in October 2010, the distressed singer-songwriter-producer offered a $20,000 finder's reward, then raised it to a whopping $1 million.

After he reported his pricey electronic was missing from an unattended Mercedes, the bag containing his precious MacBook was found in a park. Leslie took to social media outlets and interviews to share the news he would offer big bucks for his personal item's return, which contained a valuable library of beats and tracks he recorded. However, the R&B crooner has yet to pay up the promised million after an upstanding citizen found his computer.

A 52-year-old German man who recovered the laptop is suing Ryan Leslie for the $1 million fee plus interest, according to the suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, NY Daily News reports.

After publicly mourning his missing property, tweeting sadly about the "many amazing music & visual projects on that MacBook" and even composing an R&B serenade clip, singing "They stole a little piece of my heart," Leslie isn't really following up on the video pledge.

Armin Augstein found the bag with the laptop a month after it went missing while he was walking his dog in a park.

The guy who "found" the laptop obviously stole it, and then tried to get the reward. The old man stole it, or he knows who did either way he shouldn’t get anything. He’s a criminal.

How did I know it was a damn lowlife niggar as soon as I read the headline. That race never ceases to amaze me. Fu@kin monkeys is all they are and they'll never change and long as normal people keep coddling and feeding them.

I wouldn't have returned it until I had the bankcheck in my hand. It's really low what he has done. I hope the guy gets 2 million for his troubles.

The guy who found it should have threatened to reveal all the gay porn on it
