BREAKING NEWS!!! JACOB THE JEWLER GETS 2.5 YEARS IN PRISON!!!






June 24, 2008. DETROIT (AP) -- The New York businessman known in the hip-hop world as "Jacob the Jeweler" has been sentenced to 2 1/2 years in federal prison for lying to investigators looking into a multistate drug ring.

Detroit U.S. District Judge Avern Cohn on Tuesday sentenced 43-year-old Jacob Arabov, who pleaded guilty in October to falsifying records and giving false statements. Cohn also ordered Arabov to pay a $50,000 fine.

Arabov was arrested in 2006 at his Manhattan jewelry shop. Authorities accused him and others of conspiring to launder about $270 million in drug profits.

    That's a sweet deal. All he got to do is kick back 50G after making MILLIONS in the rap industry alone. Go kick his feet up in the feds for 2 years.

    Jacob gonna come out selling diamond studded pendants in shapes of flowers and hearts but seriously tho, his comissary is gonna be off the chain :)

    Too bad bruthas or sistas don't get sweet deals like this...breaking and entering is like 30 years when money laundering millions is only 2.5 years for Jacob

    A $50k fine for laundering $270 million and 2 1/2 years in the Feds? Sign me up, man. Sign me UP!!! He'll be playing golf while his millions accumulate interest. Must be nice.

    One problem though -- where will the nouveau riche/ghetto fabulous buy their Jesus pieces? You know that's going to be a problem, especially for the Muslim brothas like Nas and Freeway. LOL

I don't know the whole story on this, just bits and pieces, so if someone does, please enlighten me, but I wouldn't be surprised if he already sent all his money to overseas accounts and his home country so the feds wouldn't take any of it..

    @ poetical I agree.

    He'll be out in less than a year. This hasn't hurt him 1 bit. His paper remains steady, and he'll be even more popular.

    If he did not have money, there is no way that he would have gotten this kind of deal.

    To me it's sad when the whole hip hop culture is being defined by a corrupt jeweler that doesn't mind taking their money and selling them pieces of metal and rocks that don't mean anything once you buy them. Sure he'll take their money, but just imagine what he says about those same rappers behind their backs? This dude probably can't stand Black people(like most foreign owned businesses that sell products to stupid Black people)but as long as their spending money on his gold and diamonds, those "n**ga" rappers are his best friend!

    Just imagine all that money these idiots in hip-hop spend on jewelry, they could be providing a nice living for their future children, grands, and onwards after that. They could be investing it into business so when their rap career is over, they have something else to look forwards to. They could be spending the money to better the "hoods" that they claim to rep so hard in their songs. Yet they buy useless chains, rings, and watches from a corrupt Jew who can't stand them! Yes, I do believe this guy is Jewish, but rather he is or isn't, he definitely has "Jew-like" practices. Let's see, he exploits ignorant young Black men with egos? Check! He sells something that he got for dirt cheap off of the backs of poor and enslaved people in Africa? Check! He then studies his customers, figures out what they like and don't like, turns around and sells his product to these people at exuberant prices. Check! Rather he's a Jew by blood, religion, or business practice, he's definitely a Jew!
