Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino is in the midst of having his finances probed by the federal government.
After news of the suit broke Thursday in TMZ, The Situation’s publicist released a statement saying that he’s cooperating with the U.S. Attorney’s office by handing over financial documents for his multiple businesses, which seems to mostly consist of a company he calls MPS Entertainment (MPS stands for Michael Paul Sorrentino) which produces his stunning clothing line. MPS Entertainment’s CEO is Sorrentino’s brother, Marc Sorrentino, who also DJs under the name DJ The Man. The Situation also has a website Sitch News which describes itself as “an online social experience with an appreciation for pop culture. Our mission is to bring you what’s hot and trendy in a thoughtful and entertaining way.” Some of his other projects include a book that did not sell well, multiple endorsement deals involving GNC, Reebok and a line of vodka. In 2010, it was reported that he was on track to make $5 million that year.
