Last week Nicki Minaj was reportedly defrauded out of 100, 000 dollars while in Trinidad shooting her latest video Pound the Alarm.

The person who introduced London Alley Entertainment to the fraudster who ran off with their $100,000 is said to be the son of a senior Government official.

Police have since confirmed that a report has been filed by London Alley Entertainment, which shot and produced the video in which Machel Montano makes a cameo.

The man who received money from London Alley  has not up to yesterday returned the money.

The conman is said to own a locally based video production company is said to have since moved into an apartment in Westmoorings.

After the story was published in the local Trinidad newspaper, people from the local entertainment fraternity began to call, text and BBM in an attempt to find out exactly who the fraudster was.

Some who already knew who the person was began to post messages on BBM, Twitter and even his Facebook account.

One message posted on Facebook by a member of the local film making fraternity charged that the man had destroyed years of hard work by dedicated people to have Trinidad and Tobago seen as a desired location for international filmmakers. “You have almost solely sullied the reputation of this beautiful land,” the person wrote.

Local Trini‘s continue to express their disgust over the incident, saying they hope the perpetrator will be jailed.

Some say they knew the man well and of his criminal ways, while others did not have a clue as to who he was and where he worked or who he was connected to.
