Here is the scoop... Pure was negotiating deals with booking agencies and talent managers to bring people to Chicago to perform in clubs. They would get the contract as a .PDF, then they would edit the PDF (which is a legal contract), print it out, bring it to the club with the marked-up price, and collect the "premium" price that would charge the club. They would also get the pre-agreed upon "finders fee" that went along with the booking. They have been skimming money like this for years, and it is unreal that they just got caught. Pure deserves to go under. From the cocky additude that both Prasad and Curley had (lucas king is actually a good guy who was probably roped into this while thing). Besides, pure owes money to everyone and thier brother, and would always complain about not having enough cash to pay employees and vendors, while the skimming was going on. Let's see if the cops can find the hidden "cash account" that Jay Prasad has set up!

Considering a lot the garbage events they did, I can't say I'll miss them.

Fucking idiots.

Seriously, how dumb can you be. They deserve to get put away, so they can't pollute the gene pool.

Regardless what pure was doing, they brought the best djs to chicago. who else is gonna bring tiesto, deep dish, atb, paul oakenfold, so on and so on... i guess now we're gonna have to settle for the same djs we see everywhere at everyclub. fuck it, might as well shut down vision now....

Turns out Jay is as good a crook as he is a DJ...Horrid!

I don't know Jay Prasad or Lucas King. I do know John Curley. I do know that John Curley is a good guy and was always on the up and up. I consider him a friend. My belief and my hope is that the facts will clear Curley of any wrong doing. Remember, in America, innocent until proven guilty.

Has there been any recent news on this? I too am a friend of John's but I live in NY and haven't been able to get in touch. I am choosing to believe the best.

Re: John Curley. Are you serious? Curley was as in on the dealings as Jay prasad was. If anyone was not guilty and made to do anything it was Lucas King from Relode. But John Curley, nice or not, might have been nice to you over drinks or toots... but the reality is that his lifestyle was being paid for at the expense of others. He was the instigator, don't you know.

Any new news here about my old friend Jay Prasad?

@Fartjuice: I'm guessing he's either in court or in jail. No idea.

any updates about this guys?

Have there been any developments regarding this?

Update: Jay Prasad and John Curley and Lucas King are all out of Jail.

Lucas: Has conned the people at the congress theatre in Chicago to partner with him to do events. He is still up to the same shit he pulled when he was with "relode": Stealing from people, screwing people over, and being a cocky little asshole that would rather book talentless door-draws than talented musicians. He's a shady little punk. He pled out and never went to Jail.

Jay Prasad: This d-bag got busted pretty hard (as he should have) and has basically been black-listed from the entertainment industry. He thinks he is an internet expert or marketing expert or some other kind of expert and because of that has found a job as a sales guy for some fad, lame-ass software company. If these people knew that this dude would rob them blind, I am sure they would not have hired him. Jay Prasad, your karma is as weak as it comes.

John Curley: This d-bag is 40-something years old, and as far as anyone in Chicago can tell, he's just doing whatever he can to be the next Billy Deck. (another class act of d-bagism). He got busted the same as Prasad, and is still hanging out in clubs, playing shitty progressive house, doing lines of blow, and hanging out with butter-face chicks.

You three people suck.
