As you know, Justin Bieber's manager is a bigwig in the music business running an investment group called Ithaca Holdings, which was involved in the deal to purchase Taylor Swift's masters from Big Machine Label Group. The deal didn't go as planned, after Taylor went public about not being happy she didn't own her own masters. But, Braun sold the rights, at a reported huge profit. The deal reportedly was for $300 Million, with a resale of more than $400 Million.

The problem is that information like this deal can be a part of an ongoing divorce with his ex-wife, Yael Cohen. Details of Scooter's business dealings, earnings, and money acquired will be front and center in the ongoing negotiations for the divorce. It's unclear if the couple has a prenuptial agreement, but considering both parties were wealthy coming into the marriage, it's highly probable.

"The inadvertent or unintentional disclosure of Confidential Material that should have been designated as such shall not be deemed to waive a party’s claim of confidentiality," the document reads.

It should be noted, this isn't a normal occurrence in a celebrity divorce case.

Scooter speaks highly of his ex-wife, revealing on a recent podcast, "I was having a lot of success and I was looking for what validated me.
