Dan Rozansky’s article on the lawsuit filed against music executive Scooter Braun over a failed business venture was featured in Forbes on June 4, 2021. In the article, Dan covers a former business associate's allegations that Braun promised and failed to raise between $500 million and $700 million to launch a private equity fund called SCOPE Capital Management, and that Braun had a conflict of interest due to his dealings with private equity firm Carlyle Group shortly after SCOPE’s formation. According to Dan, if the plaintiff can prove that Braun made certain promises and was “double dealing” with Carlyle, then the music mogul could find himself at the losing end of the lawsuit.
