TL;DR

Former Fugees member Pras Michel has been convicted on 10 felony counts, including acting as an unregistered foreign agent of China, conspiring to make illegal campaign contributions, and witness tampering.

The charges stemmed from Michel’s relationship with a Malaysian billionaire businessman, Jho Low, who spent lavishly on an extravagant lifestyle and famous friends. Michel will appeal his conviction after sentencing.
