Ruben Wins a Cool $2M

Ruben Studdard has won his lawsuit against the man that was his ex-manager.

The suit claimed Edwards misused more than $246,000 of the singer’s money. According to the judge’s ruling, Edwards took money from Studdard’s checking and other bank accounts, improperly used his credit cards and even used Studdard’s money to repay a $10,000 bank loan. Studdard has sold more than 2.2 million records, but the damage to his credit because of the fraud made it hard to obtain financing to buy a home, Vowell’s order said.

Wow! With manager’s like that, I think I’m going to start contacting the American Idol winner’s to see if anyone needs a manager. I’m sure I could do a better, and definitely more honest, job than that.
