![Lil Scrappy & Family Claim Racism at Nickelodeon Resort… [VIDEO]](http://cdn.straightfromthea.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Lil-Scrappy-Nickelodean-520x481.png)
Meet Sonia A. Brown (35), and Chloe M. McQueen (23) of Miami Florida.
These two smiling beauties posed for the mugshots above after they were arrested for an extortion plot that included a few reality show producers.
According to the reports, McQueen found a lost iPhone 4 last Sunday at Mango’s Cafe in Miami Beach and discovered a slew of secretive and sensitive business information while browsing through it. (I can’t believe there are actually people in the world who don’t LOCK their iPhones!?!)
Here’s the clencher… the phone apparently belonged to a producer from True Entertainment (the production company that produces ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta” and a slew of other reality shows, including Nene Leakes’ ‘I Dream of Nene’ wedding spin-off and Phaedra Parks’ ‘Rich People’s Problems’ judge show) and the pair apparently thought it would be a bright idea to ask the owner to pay them for the phone or they would sell it’s contents to to the blawgs!!
I can only imagine what was on that phone! Scripts? Storylines? Potential new housewives??? 
Additional details about the hilarious extortion plot + court footage below…
On May 28, 2013, McQueen and Brown found an iPhone 4 at Mango’s Cafe in Miami Beach and on it, discovered secretive and sensitive business information about True Entertainment’s reality shows.
The pair then hatched a plan to get PAID for information they’d found and dialed two numbers on the phone, one belong to the owner Joye Chen (an executive producer at True Entertainment) and a second belonging to Angel Johnson, another True Entertainment employee.
The ladies notified Chen that they’d found her phone and had seen the information it contained, they then demanded $3,000 in exchange for the phone and told her if payment wasn’t made, they would sell the information to TMZ.
[Sidebar: I don't think they thought this plan through.... but I digress. ]
According to police reports, the executive negotiated with McQueen and Brown and said she was willing to pay the money but needed time to collect it. She then contacted police, who started an investigation into the extortion plot.
Chen eventually agreed to meet McQueen and Brown at Joe’s Crab Shack for the swap, but things didn’t go as smoothly as the ladies planned. When the pair arrived, they were promptly arrested and authorities found Chen’s iPhone in McQueen’s possession.
The women appeared in court and while both admitted their involvement to authorities, they each blamed the other for being the main culprit. They also both admitted to contacting the victim several times through phone calls and text messages to negotiate the terms of the extortion.
McQueen and Brown have each been charged with extortion and McQueen was also charged with possession of stolen property. The ladies face at least 15 years of jail time for their foiled extortion plot.
I can’t believe these fools risked going to jail for this dumb ish. 15 years is a long time to sit in a jail cell over a dumb decision.
Are you curious about the ‘sensitive’ reality show information they got a hold of?
Share your thoughts on this bizarre extortion plot…
these two bytches are durty as hell! why would you do that to anybody!
Greed!!!! Pure Greed!!!!
maybe if they would have rightfully returned it, they couldve got a reward or better yet a fucking job which is what they clearly needed, dumb ass hoes, dont drop the soap biiootttcchhh!!
the struggle is real, thirst is real, damn…..
Dont blame these women for trying to be on the come up.lol.Just kidding,but it makes you wonder ,how irresponsible are you to lose such an important piece of property.
Have they thought to wipe the phone out?
i found a lawyers iphone once and i just called the number labled wife and asked them where they wanted to meet to get it back. When i got there the guy ended up giving 100 dollars for being honest and not asking for anything. I was a broke college student so i accepted it.
I was just thinking if those girls had of just returned it they probably would have recieved some cash…
They were bold. They were wrong but 15 years in prison for trying to extort $3,000 is way too much punishment.
Well, hopefully they will learn their lesson and won’t do it anymore.
But $3,000 tho? If I’m going to jail it would have to be for a lot more money than that!! I mean forreal..
My thoughts exactly!
Hoes stay losing….lol ha ha. This is how important many women see these reality shows as. So important they risked going to jail for it. Ha ha ha I love it.
Personally, I just would have went straight to TMZ and got the money upfront. Depending on how much they’d (TMZ) offer – I would have just given them the phone, took my check, and waited for the storylines to leak on the blogs.
yep that is what makes more sense;
This sho nuff sounds like the better idea!
Smh! Sad
Who doesn’t password protect their iPhone, my husband lost his iphone at work, we texted the phone leaving a call back number and offered a $100 reward. The kid who found the phone kept it for a few days, and once he figured out he couldn’t use it, he turned it in to his father who contacted us and refused the offered reward.
trust me when i say i would have got PAID…in between TMZ and the tabloids that need the come up…TRUST…i would be chilling on the beach right now instead of sitting at my desk at work reading straight from the a….LOL
wow, they deserve that and more, and for a measly $3,000 really?! wow! lol lol lol true hood rats!
That is the thing that made it clear what type of ghetto mess we were dealing with…$3000? What in the entire fuck? Hood rats stay losing!
1500 a piece? Ratchet
These two ladies should have done this?
Use a throw away phone so the calls could not be traced back to them.
use a device that can "alter" your voice
Use an "alternate person"(a homeless person take them to the spot give the $10) then tell them to ask for this person,and watch the cops swoop down on them while you sit in safely in another location.
Or simply go to the national enquirer or tmz (most blogs wouldn’t have touched that for fear of legal ramifications)
Most likely they may get a few months, or probation.
These two didn’t think this out at all
Question: What’s up with Yardi site has it been shut down?
How about this, turn the phone into the restaurant owner after you find it?
mrworldpremiere.tv should still work
@ LaLaRoses
Thanks!
@imjustsaying: If you going to go all out you might as well do it right. If turning it in "was the right "thing" to do (we know it is)However, they didn’t which why they are in trouble with the law.
Too much….I say clone the phone and give it back to the owner and you still have the info.
This is very informative….and scary!
Ridiculous..
Me personally I wouldva copied all info from the phone then contacted the owner to retune it immediately & most likely get reward from owner then I would sell info to the highest bidder that way no crimes on me & in rhianna words "still got my money"
yep yep..hopefully they still remember some things can spill the beans discretely for some cash…
Yes! They apparently didn’t think that plan through. Po Thangs! Lol
There are plenty of people behind bars like these two MEATBALLS for making dumb decisions. They need to go to jail. 3,000 dollars??!!! REALLY? I hope that 15 hundred dollars a piece is worth looking at a
potential 15 year jail sentence. They need to be on episode on WORLDS DUMBEST CRIMINALS.
Thank you and LOL @Meatballs. They should get that anyway for being stupid and some of the comments posted about what some of these people would do with someone’s phone for money is just straight up trifling. This is why I trust no one and keep my phone locked and close to me at all times.
Agreed! Whatever happened to RETURNING it and ACCEPTING NOTHING for it (even if a reward is offered) just beause it’s the RIGHT thing to do?
Basic chicks do basic things and ask for basic money. $3,000 is the best number you could come up with? What a shame. Idiots.
My thoughts exactly! Either the info in the phone wasn’t all that incrimating or they played low ball in order to just get whatever they could get. This sH!t is embarrassing!
Crackhead money
We should all be on our best behavior at all times because we are all subject to exposure…true REALITY!!!!!!
they were wrong true enough, 15 years seems a bit much especially when i have heard of people getting less time for far worse crimes!!
They will probably get out early for good behavior. I doubt if they serve that long.
Damn the iPhone, the info was there golden ticket.
they would have gotten reward money if the phone was returned without extortion. now these two women are just stupid.
Why not 4,000 at least they could get 2,000 a piece O_o #shade
The owner of the phone would have given them a reward for just finding the phone, how stupid can they be, education is a hell of a thing, children stay in school.
Uhm…I’m not even entertaining this hot jackazzary! On a more important note…has anyone eaten at Joe’s crabshack?? I’m interested in knowing. The commercials make everything look yummy! lol
Lol, Joe’s Crabshack sucks. If you want real seafood, go to a real seafood restaurant. I’ve been there one time and haven’t went back. Red Lobster sucks too. I don’t know why people think that place is the s–t.
Its those damn commercials! UGH! Lol…thanks for the response. lol
These people sorry are from ATL this city is so damn ghetto it’s not funny…
This happened in Florida! These women look very familiar.
Most people keep a code on the phone so that no one could get into it! How would these people know who "True Entertainment" are? Unless there are some incriminating photos, there is nothing vauable but potential phone numbers. It would be different if it wasa computer. 15 years is a long time to go to jail for stupidity. What happened to turning in lost phones to management, where you find it!
This sounds like this was planned. What owner has their contact information in their phone? It should teach people a valuable lesson about greed!
LOL!!!!!
As my grandmother would say, "Two simple souls." SMH.
As one famous housewife said, "You can’t win when you’re dirty."
And besides being dirty and stupid, $3,000 is no where near a lot of money. It’s not worth going to jail for 15 years. Hell, no amount of money is worth going to jail.
And in regards to those mugshots, my grandmother would also say, "Oh, child. These two then had some hard lives. They don’t look good no where."
I’ll bet the owner would’ve given them a finders fee if they’d simply called and turned in the phone.
Is it just me, or does there seem to be alot of scams going on these days? Why are there so many dishonest young people who would rather rob, scheme and scam their way through? Sad! And they look a ratchet, ashy, broke ass mess by the way.
LAWD! Greed & no soulful conviction……God truly does not like "ugly", hide yo’ eyes, hide yo mama’s eye. These beowulf face…..#Pause. Let me "hursh"……
LOL @Beowolf.
15 years!! that is nuts over a found they FOUND not STOLE. They would have been better off going straight to TMZ.
they’d better not get 15yrs. serve 1 month in the county jail then 1 r probation.
and EVERYONE LOCK YOUR PHONE
Its cuz people r moving there from EVERYWHERE an bringing their crackhead game with them!
Stolen Property?? How they get that charge when the Ish LEFT her phone? True they wrong on the extortion but come on really ain’t they taking this a step too far?
