The FBI conducted a two and a half year investigation into the Jewish Defense League allegedly trying to extort money from Tupac Shakur and Eazy E. The JDL apparently phoned the two stars and made death threats against them. The probe lasted from October 17, 1996 until May 18, 1999, when the investigators couldn’t prove anything against the JDL. According to one memo, Eazy E paid a security consultant $1,000 per week, because he took the death threats seriously. The information on Tupac Shakur was mostly erased by the FBI before being released to the public. According to Sonicnet, the files outraged The JDL, claiming that the organization offered protection to Eazy after Suge Knight threatened the rapper.
