The allegations, outlined in a criminal complaint filed in Michigan and seen by Law360, claim that Joseph Strange sold 25 unfinished tracks to a Canadian buyer for approximately $50,000 in cryptocurrency.

Strange, 46, worked for Eminem from 2007 to 2021 at the studio. According to the complaint, he “unlawfully” took the unreleased music and, after meeting a man named on-line, facilitated the sale of these tracks in exchange for Bitcoin.

The investigation revealed that Strange was “heavily involved” in the world of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency mining and insisted on receiving payment solely in the cryptocurrency.

However, a spokesperson for Eminem expressed deep concern over the incident, highlighting the significant damage caused to the rapper’s artistic legacy and the financial losses incurred by those involved in the creative process.

If convicted of copyright infringement, he faces up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. The charges for interstate transportation carry a potential maximum penalty of ten years behind bars.

Fink, Strange’s attorney, emphasized that a criminal complaint consists of allegations that have yet to be tested in a courtroom.

Fink是Strange的律师Fink强调，刑事诉讼包括尚未在法庭上进行测试的指控。

“It’s important for people to understand that a criminal complaint is merely a set of allegations signed by a prosecutor and publicized by press release,” he stated, adding that Strange will respond to the charges in court and is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

他说：“对于人们来说，重要的是要了解刑事诉讼只是一组检察官签署并通过新闻稿宣传的指控。”他补充说，奇怪的人将对法庭上的指控作出回应，并被认为是无辜的，直到被证明是有罪的。

This incident is not the first time Eminem has faced issues with leaked music. In 2002, unauthorized tracks from his album “The Eminem Show” were sold online before their official release, which forced the rapper to expedite the album’s launch to mitigate financial damages.

这一事件不是Eminem首次面临泄漏的音乐问题。 2002年，他的专辑“ The Eminem Show”中未经授权的曲目在正式发行之前在线出售，这迫使说唱歌手加快了专辑的发行以减轻财务损失。
