DJ Envy’s Lawyer Claims Envy is a Victim of Cesar Pina’s Scheme, Losing $500K

Screen Shot 2023 10 18 at 9.22.48 PM

DJ Envy’s lawyer spoke with famed court reporter Meghann Cuniff, who details The Breakfast Club host’s relationship with Cesar Pina.

Speaking with Envy’s lawyer, Massimo D’Angelo, Cuniff reports that “Envy is going to be assisting and cooperating fully” to get money back for himself and his victims.

D’Angelo said Envy invested $500K with Pina and “didn’t get any money back.” Adding, “He paid out substantial sums similar to some of the other investors who thought they were getting money back.”

Earlier this month, federal agents arrested DJ Envy’s former business partner Cesar Pina on Wednesday.

According to Tony “The Closer” Robinson, Pina, a.k.a. “Flipping NJ,” is accused of running a real estate Ponzi scheme. He is charged with scamming investors out of millions of dollars.

DJ Envy, real name RaaShaun Casey, is a co-defendant in multiple lawsuits filed by investors who say they were ripped off by Pina in an elaborate Ponzi scheme.

Envy and Pina held seminars to lure hundreds of investors to flip distressed properties for profit. But investors say Pina took their money and ran. DJ Envy also promoted the seminars on iHeart Radio’s popular Breakfast Club morning show.

Many victims said they invested with Pina because DJ Envy was his business partner and they trusted Envy.

But DJ Envy denied any involvement in the Ponzi scheme. He said he’s also a victim because he gave money to Pina.

Jose Santiago and his wife, Jessica Ortiz told News 4 they invested $200,000 in a Paterson, NJ property that Pina claimed he owned.

“He’s advertising this all over radio and television, so I thought this was legit,” Santiago said.

Nigel Chamblin said he invested nearly $1 million in several properties that Pina claimed he owned. But Pina didn’t own any of the properties.

“There were other people investing in these exact same properties,” Chamblin told News 4. “It was a scam, it was a lie.”

Screenshot 2023 10 20 at 7.36.49 AM

During the same week that DJ Envy’s former business partner Cesar Pina was arrested for scamming investors out of millions of dollars in an alleged real estate Ponzi scheme, federal agents seize equipment from DJ Envy’s place of business in NYC as a part of the investigation.

On Wednesday(October 18), federal agents raided the iHeart offices and confiscated equipment from where The Breakfast Club morning show is aired, according to an NBC investigative reporter.

“An inside source tells us that the iHeartRadio offices were visited by the feds, who took out electronic equipment as part of this investigation,” said investigative reporter Sarah Wallace.

Earlier this week, New Jersey property investor and “Flipping NJ” founder Cesar Pina was arrested for wire fraud and released on a $1 million secured bond along with electronic ankle monitoring after appearing in a Newark federal court.

Documents reveal that the radio host and his former partner are being investigated for seminars they hed across the country, in which they are accused of using to lure in and defraud potential investors. Envy is being accused of using his social media reach to attract people with high investment returns, but ultimately milking investors out of millions of dollars.

Envy addressed the fraud allegartions on air, saying, “Let me explain some things…so Cesar and myself did seminars. Now, the reason I did these seminars is because I wanted to uplift my community. I wanted to teach my community about real estate. Things that I didn’t know when I was buying my first home. So I did these seminars and brought industry professionals to all these seminars, whether it was real estate agents from different markets, contractors, money lenders. I even brought Auction.com to actually show people how to purchase houses online.”

He continued, “Now Cesar, if he took money, I wasn’t privy to it nor did I even know. But I do understand how people feel if they did give him money because I gave him a lot of money that I didn’t see a dollar of return.”

TheSource.com will update this news as more details develop in this multi-faceted story.

DJ Envy Goes Against Lawyer's Advice, Makes Statement Against Rumored Involvement in Real State Scam

DJ Envy said he is not a scammer, in fact, he was the one scammed. After making the news after being accused of providing a Cesar Pina with a platform to scam hardworking people, Envy hit The Breakfast Club to deliver a statement. Envy said his lawyer suggested he didn’t deliver the statement.

“Let me explain some things. Now, the reason I did these seminars is because I wanted to uplift my community. I wanted to teach my community about real estate. Things that I didn’t know when I was buying my first home. I did these seminars and brought industry professionals to all these seminars, whether it was real estate agents from different markets, contractors, money lenders. I even brought Auction.com to actually show people how to purchase houses online.”

Envy added, “if he took money I wasn’t privy to it nor did I even know. But I do understand how people feel if they did give him money because I gave him a lot of money that I didn’t see a dollar of return.”

You can hear it from Envy below.

According to NBC New York, DJ Envy used his position on The Breakfast Club on iHeartRadio to promote the scheme, which included seminars promoting the flipping of properties in underprivileged areas of New Jersey.

”There were other people investing in these exact same properties,” Chamblin said. ”It was a scam, it was a lie.”

DJ Envy Gets 50 Cent Involved In Rick Ross Car Show Beef

Screen Shot 2023 05 22 at 1.56.54 PM

With both Rick Ross and DJ Envy hosting their individual car shows within the next month, a lot of friendly jabs have been taken on social media on both sides, but now The Breakfast Club co-host has brought a more serious element to the rivalry by adding 50 Cent to the conversation.

After a week of back ad forth between he and Ross, Envy posted a pic of him and Ross’ longtime foe 50 chilling together at a restaurant. Envy then quoted Drake’s “Stay Schemin” as the caption, which read, “It bothers me when the gods get to acting like the broads, Guess every team doesn’t come complete with n-ggas like ours, That’s why I see no need to compete with n-ggas like y’all,” he wrote. “[Queens Get The Money] @bransoncognac @lecheminduroi @50cent #CarShowSeason #BeigeRage.”

Screen Shot 2023 05 22 at 1.42.01 PM

Ross started the rift by stating on Drink Champs that Envy was “never on my level” when it comes to car shows. Envy fired back on The Breakfast Club by talking about Ross’ permit issues for his car show slated for June 3 in Georgia.

“My car show in Memphis is still going down at the same venue, same place,” Envy said while promoting his own upcoming car shows. “It is May 28th in Memphis. We’re going to have cars from Young Dolph, 50 Cent, Key Glock and myself…and then Houston, we doing it at the same venue — we not moving — at the NRG Stadium as well. The ‘Drive Your Dreams’ Car Show, Father’s Day weekend.”

[WATCH] DJ Envy Starts Debate For Saying 50 Cent Would Beat Lil Wayne In Verzuz Battle

Screen Shot 2023 03 24 at 12.58.21 PM

On the most recent episode of Apple Music’s Rap Life Review featuring Lowkey, Nadaska, and Eddie Francis, two of the three said that Lil Wayne would have to sequence his songs in the right order in a Verzuz battle in order to beat 50 Cent.

Lowkey said, “Wayne don’t have a Get Rich Or Die Tryin.’” I ain’t sayin’ 50 gonna wash Wayne but if Wayne’s not sequenced right, and it’s not positioned correctly, that could be a very long f***ing night.” 

Envy and Charlamagne added on to the convo on The Breakfast Club with Charlamagne agreeing with Lowkey, saying, “Yes, Lil Wayne doesn’t have a Get Rich but Lil Wayne has massive, massive amounts of hits… One album cannot win you a Verzuz.” Envy cut him off by adding, “He is right… Get Rich or Die Tryin’ is a classic album but you can’t sit there and act like Lil Wayne doesn’t have classic bodies of work.” 

Charlamagne said Fif “would need something more than just Get Rich Or Die Tryin’  to go against one of the top five, potentially top 3, greatest rappers alive.” DJ Envy ended the debate by saying that 50 Cent would win that battle.”
