(EXCLUSIVE) Frank Ocean’s Dad Loses $142 Million Legal Battle Against Russell Simmons

Cooksey explained to the court that he couldn’t afford to pay the costs to file the lawsuit and asked them to waive the fees since he is unemployed and cannot recall his last job. He explains that he lives off social security disability income of $789.66 a month.

However, on November 5th the federal court judge came back and thew out the entire lawsuit and awarded Cooksey nothing from the $142 million he demanded. The judge noted in the order that Frank’s dad did not provide any proof that the case should be heard in New York court.

The judge not only threw out the entire case but shut down any chance of appeal that Cooksey had by denying him the right to appeal the decision. The case was closed the same day.
