Norwegian business newspaper Dagens Næringsliv has exposed massive fraud within the streaming service Tidal owned by Jay-Z. This is fucking huge, but it hasn't reached many American outlets yet. This is a legitimate source that is known for great investigative journalism. The evidence presented in the Norwegian article series is pretty substantial.
>Its central accusation: ‘Beyoncé’s and Kanye West’s listener numbers on TIDAL have been manipulated to the tune of several hundred million false plays… which has generated massive royalty payouts at the expense of other artists. >Tidal has revived accounts that were deleted to make the user base seem bigger than it is >Tidal has boasted about a user base of 3 million, but it's really just 1 million >“According to the logs, every single user supposedly listened to a large number of tracks at precisely the same second in time,” reports DN. >More than 1.3m subscriber accounts were reportedly subject to this alleged ‘manipulation’.
This is massive fraud. It got released today by a Norwegian paper, so it's not all over American media yet. You need to make it Jow Forums.
Should be added that the paper had some of the best tech academics in the country look at the data. Their joint conclusion is that there has definately been tampering in the range of houndreds of millions of listenings.
Also, several higher-ups left the company with fat severance and non-disclosures after the discovred that something was off.
The management should be in prison.
Justin James
Nice, it will be good to see this spirit cooking satanist taken down. I hope this has legs
>Abuse and manipulation of customer data to to enrich black people at the cost of whites
The payment structure of Tidal is a common pot divided based on your share of plays, meaning that when two artists dominate as much as Kanye and Beyonce, others get less.
If Beyonce has 46 % of plays, she gets 46 % of the pot.
Ian Stewart
He also refused to testify in another fraud investigation Jay z is a bad guy
Carson Butler
Career ending fraud case implicating two Democrat artists promoting degeneracy. It's not just the fraud itself, the company has abused customer data to make it happen. With the Facebook scandal fresh in mind, this is a double win.
Kanye will probably be fine, his falling out with them will probably shield him.
Alexander Collins
hey hey hey now just a minute. This is Jay Z, the very same rapper who included in a song that Jews own all the land. I remember because pol sucked his nigger dick for 2 weeks. I mean, it wasn't the deepthroat/cradle the balls facial pol let Kanye bust on them, but Jay Z is still pol's based nigger. Don't attack pol's based niggers.
Pol loves based niggers and you can't take that away from them.
Jackson Long
It's worth noting that Jay-Z has his roots in the illegal drug trade.
Isaac Flores
Thats /nupol/ most anons that are really anons hate niggers.
Ryan Baker
Theres something creepy about that Beyonce. Every noticed that she's got soulless eyes pol?
Would bang of course
Josiah Martin
Jay-Z campaigned for Hillary. He was there on election night. He is not Jow Forums's nigger.
This is unironically the first time I heard of this "streaming site" how many subscribers does this have? I can't believe how retarded people can be to pay money to "stream music" from Nicky Minaj and the likes, are people all braindead?
but they killed one of the owners of grooveshark to launch this platform.

Lucas King
They used advertiser's money to funnel it to his own wife. It is a big deal
Adrian Johnson
I wonder why Beyonce, who isn't as ugly as the average black woman, would ever settle for an ugly as fuck guy like Jay Z? It's just the oddest shit on earth.
Julian Peterson
Shekels.
Dylan Martinez
>“According to the logs, every single user supposedly listened to a large number of tracks at precisely the same second in time,” reports DN. what's the big deal? this happens all the time when there are milliions of members to an extremely innovative service. DON'T spread this fake information anywhere, supid fucking shills.
Jay Z is really white liberal America's fav rapper, he's constantly on some tv talk shows and shit, they won't do anything to him. Meanwhile, if it's Kanye, he'd might get a bit of problem. Point is this aint mean shit
Camden Bell
>rich famous alpha badboy respected by his peers Hmm..
Christian Rogers
Still that doesnt mean shit. Jay Z is simply not going to effect this shit that literally no one knows about
Jaxon Davis
Yeah actually never mind i just remembered how cucked the IRS is as far as targeting conservatives, they're leftists to the bone.
Levi Peterson
Add to that he literally made her the super star she's. Without him, she would be another Destiny's Child Kelly or Michelle. He's the reason why she's a Beyonce.
Imagine that, a web property fluffing the daily actives and spoofing traffic. The socials are doing way worse, Jay-Z is a whipping boi.
Lucas Williams
inflating the customer base numbers makes the company look healthier than it is, and thus increases shares prices - those numbers get reported to financial holdings companies and likely to the SEC. That's investor fraud.
over-inflating the play numbers means more royalties for those with the reported number. Essentially paying people for work they didn't do. It's Jay-Z lining his own pocket via his wife's account. That's embezzlement. Also reportable to the SEC for publicly traded companies.
Finally, since Tidal has a limited amount of cash on hand from subscriber fees, by over reporting the plays for Kanye and Bey, Tidal must get the money from somewhere, and the only place is underpaying other performers for work they _did_ do. That's also a crime and violates all of their contracts with Tidal.
In short, if this is remotely true, the Tidal ownership (i.e. Jay-Z) is looking at several criminal charges, and more likely crippling civil fraud cases from investors and artists.
Jaxon Myers
Back in the eighties, artists' representatives would try to audit the record/cassette/CD manufacturers directly, because the artists' labels would lie to them about the quantities sold. There are no ethics in the music industry. If something underhanded is likely to be profitable, the general thought is, "I would be foolish not to do this."
>>“According to the logs, every single user supposedly listened to a large number of tracks at precisely the same second in time,” reports DN.
Holy shit, leave it to a lazy Joe-Camel-lookin-nigger to take a reasonable clever hack (for a chimp) and implement it in the most absolutely lazy and sloppy manner possible.

Oh, and Kanye owes Jay-Z millions for loans he took out to fund his "art and fashion" side projects. Kanye still sells , but not like he usedto. It looks like this was a way for Jay-Z to recoup what Yeezy owed him, since it looks otherwise like he'd never get the money back.
The fact that it's these 2 artists in particular that were over-reported really looks like embezzlement and fraud on the part of Jay-Z.
Isaac Foster
Everyone connected with Abramovich needs to go. If Trump can't get it done, we will.
Looks like the baby raping shills of leftypol and "dumbledore's army" are here to defend their satanic niggers. You got a nice thread going on OP that I'll forgive you for not making an archive in the excitement: archive.is/KBevZ -English archive.is/0xSKK -Norwegian
>See me, B that is, I that is, G whiz >Motherfuckers still in my biz >Don't they know my nigga Gutter >fuckin' kidnap kids >Fuck 'em in the ass, throw 'em over >the bridge >That's how it is,
You don't think he was smart enough to find a fall guy? Any number of niggers would take a payment from him to go to jail on his behalf. He won't be getting locked up.
Nathaniel Edwards
Hopefully this will stop people worshipping Beyoncé and criminal husband. Kanye was right and that’s why he’s staying away from Jay-z. KW even publicly stated to JayZ not to send his goons to kill him.
Josiah King
Yeah, Kanye does NOT want to be >fucked in the ass and thrown over the bridge
Guess that explains why Tidal went through 3 CEO's in 2 years.

not sure how much of a dent this makes for black america, were the other atists hurt other blacks? Because that would be pottery. Jay-Z literally getting rich at the expense of other blacks in the community, just like his drug dealing days. In fact, meme the drug dealer angle for Jay-Z, still a leetch to the community.
Angel Bennett
He campaigns for Hillary, goes to spirit cooking events, performs with Abromavich, kills his business rivals. He's a Democrat house nigger.
Also Mr Hedge at CDAN leaked this info a week ago .Hedge financed An Open Secret. So I am guessing this is part of the Trump train rolling through.
Jayden Turner
>what's the big deal? this happens all the time when there are milliions of members
Run the numbers faggot. Peak listeners per day over total daily plays will not equal 1 million playing at the exact same time.

You mean they sacrificed him.

They don't want to pull that thread lest all online (((advertising))) be found out for the fraud that it is.
Nathaniel Bell
>This is unironically the first time I heard of this "streaming site" Yeah same here. Must be hip-hop or rap based because all I know is Spotify, Pandora, Soundcloud and shit like that. Most of what I want to listen to is on Spotify so I personally just use that but never heard of this site and I'm sure Jay-Z is far enough removed from that business to see any charges. I hate to defend a nigger like him but, being a businessman myself I understand that he probably didn't even know what or how the fuck this site worked, he just bought it because streaming sites look like they can generate a cash stream. Where he fucked up is who he hired to run this business, probably some shady buddy of his or something, but in the end I doubt this will touch Jay-Z at all. I mean, it's not like that dumb nigger knows how fucking site streaming works and coded the app himself. He will be fine.

Who cares. if Jay-Z dies of incurable crab lice tomorrow, it makes zero difference to anyone.
Maybe Beyodsa can get a more interesting, better looking dude to bone her, but that's about it.

>The consequences of this alleged tampering are seismic.
>DN says it has gained access to record company royalty payment reports, which reveal that TIDAL paid Sony in excess of $4 million across April and May of 2016.
>Of this, Lemonade – a Billboard 200 No.1 album – accounted for $2.5 million, based on the figures reported by TIDAL.
>It’s a similar case for The Life of Pablo: according to DN, in February and March 2016, TIDAL paid Universal a total of €3.2 million.
>Of this, The Life of Pablo cashed in around €2 million.
No wonder. I guess fuck wypipo works until you need them to pay for your services.

I always thought a Jewish producer must have told Biggie to add that. His lyrics don't usually transgress those lines but that's normal for a person of the Jewish faith to talk about killing children.
