Singer Ryan Leslie has been ordered to add $180,000 in interest to the $1 million reward he was ordered to pay for the recovery of his stolen laptop. A judge has ruled that Leslie had to pay more money to Armin Augstein for finding his laptop in a forest.

"He made a second reward video and offered $1 million for just the intellectual property on the external hard drive and computer, the session files," said his attorney David DeStefano. "They're different from just an MP3, MP3s are nothing for a producer or a studio engineer, they can't do anything with them. They need the session files. These were his compositions."

Leslie still plans to appeal the decision.
