In hopes of clearing up the cause of an ongoing feud between Jim Jones and former Byrdgang member Max B [click to read], Paula J. Moore has stepped forward to provide her account of the story. Moore, who refers to Max B (real name Charly Wingate) as her client, says she was responsible for posting the rapper’s $150,000 bail after he was arrested on charges of attempted murder in 2007 [click to read], and has a copy of the bail bond to prove it [click to view].
“Jim Jones was not interested in helping Max B get released out of jail until he heard that someone was bailing him out,”Moore tells HipHopRuckus.com. “Unbeknown to me, Jim Jones found out that I was going to be bailing Max B out and he went to the jail and convinced Max to sign all his publishing over and loaned him $90,000.”
Moore says she plans to reveal other details about the behind-the-scenes activity of members of Byrdgang as well as other information about the aforementioned murder trial via her upcoming H.O.T. (Harlem on Top) DVD.
