The JDL investigated for extorting money from Ruthless Records

I was just reading up about Suge Knight after watching a new 2Pac DVD and was dumbed founded when i read this:

The DEA launched a money laundering investigation, assuming that the JDL was extorting money from Ruthless Records to fight their extremist causes. This led to JDL spokesperson Irv Rubin to issue a press release stating "There was nothing but a close, tight relationship" between Eazy-E and the League.
