Isn't it odd that the amount of money used to fund the creation of the beats headphones company - is ALMOST EXACTLY the same amount of money that went missing after Tupac "died" and Suge was thrown in jail?

For a period, the company was majority-owned by Taiwanese smartphone maker HTC. The company reduced its stake to 25% in 2012, and sold its remaining stake back to the company in 2013. Concurrently, Carlyle Group replaced HTC as a minority shareholder, alongside Dr. Dre and Iovine in late 2013. On August 1, 2014, Apple Inc. acquired Beats for US$3 billion in a cash and stock deal, the largest acquisition in Apple's history.
