Jeweler to the Stars is Going to Jail
Filed under: Legal Matters
Jacob the Jeweler (aka Jacob Arabov), who's been name checked in songs by everyone from Jay Z to Kanye, has been sentenced to 2.5 years in the slammer, according to reports.
Jacob pleaded guilty last fall to falsifying records and lying to Feds who were investigating a Detroit drug ring. Authorities accused him (and others) of conspiring to launder about $270 million in drug profits!
The judge who sentenced Jacob also ordered him to pay a $50,000 fine and to make a $2 million forfeiture payment to the government.
Jacob said, "I feel ashamed that I broke the laws of this country, a country that has been so good for me. I will carry this shame for the rest of my life."
Shame! Shame! Shame!
His jail sentence is scheduled to start January 15, 2009.

All Jews are corrupt and they will sell their first born child for money.
Typical.
Rap = Drugs = Guns = Profanty = Illegal Activity = Illegal Bling = Killing = Demeaning/Deriding Women = Murder = And The Glorification Of All Of The Above.
Typical.
Rap is not music. It a lifestyle. Reference above style of living.
Typical.
Can anyone picture Mario sitting at his computer reading these replys and crying like a little girl? I can and I almost feel bad for him.
what a shame.
how much money are you making already. and you still cheat on the country??
greedy greedy greedy.
LOL…. MMMM COOL 2 HEAR ….. NEED MORE YRZ … HE GOT MONEY.. UGHHH.. W/E
I wouldn't exactly call Kanye or Jay-Z "STARS!" More like NiGG#@s with a lot of money!
You can't say Jeweler without saying the word JEW!
Funny how they do the contrition speech AFTER they get caught. Just like rehab for forgiveness for Hollywood stars. Where was the remorse or the will to do the right thing beforehand? It could be sincere, but because of the timing will always be suspect.
Old news again. This was reported hours ago on TMZ.
How many thousands of Americans would get f*cked up on his 270 million worth of drugs? Where is the concern for them, their families or the kids who throw their lives away forever because they are struggling through adolescence and make this wrong turn? He's sorry he broke the law, but what about endless damage to this country's families for greed and a bigger bank account? It's about so much more than breaking the law.
"From Jay-Z to Kanye" Are there alot in between?
He'll be going to the federal pound me in the ass prison…hope you got yourself a good pair of steel undies cause ol' bubby going to be waiting to pack that fudge
HE ALSO SOLD NAS A FAKE ENGAGEMENT RING.
I BET JACOB IS ILLEGAL TOO! HAHA
Another fucking drug dealer. When will rap clean it up?? Come ON, Kanye and Jay Z, step up!
"PLEADED" is NOT the correct verb! It is "PLED"! You sound like a goddamn moron!
"I have to question the character of a man who attacks others on such deeply personal levels, without provocation and for self-benefit, monetary or otherwise….If he's emotionally incapable of exhibiting even the tiniest bit of compassion for closeted people, if he can't be sensitive to the fact that coming out is a very personal decision and that the process can be difficult for some — especially celebrities — I feel sorry for him. If his juvenile behavior is his shtick, I think it makes him a much more pathetic figure, and one the gay and lesbian community should not support…If we support behavior like Hilton's, we applaud shallowness, arrogance, rage and invasion of privacy, and risk becoming what we despise."
He looks like the type of guy Kanye and Jay-z would buy jewelry from.
Re: AMAND – Dumb bitch, it's not spelled "pled" it's spelled "plead." You know, like read a book or read a letter. Geesh. Moron.
I think his commentary is respectable. Its nice to see people take responsibility for their mistakes.
Well this wouldn't be a problem if we would build that fence along our southern border. nearly 100% of narcotics come into our country through Mexico.
LMFAO, Perez… "everyone from Jay Z to Kanye" ???
What comes between J & K?
Of course, you could have said, "Jeweler to the massive egos that are Jay Z and Kanye."
Any money says that this guy doesn't feel guilty at all, just stupid that he got caught.
2.5 years for laundering $270M? Where do I sign up?
Re: Valer –
Are you really that naive, or are you being sarcastic?
$100 says those words are his LAWYER's, and not his.
They should have called him Jacob the connection. What about deportation???
Re: Stanton Assassin – No kidding. I wonder if he ends up serving one third of that with time off for good behavior? Hypothetical 'sign up' indeed.
Re: Ava – With more money that your Pink Toe ass…Sad part you and your fucked up family was born free and this two young RICH black guys has more money then your family will ever have. But posting this blog makes you feel good. Go kill your self already…White Power….More like poor white power. Get a job… better yet go get that Jay Z cd…..LOL

wow, making millions of dollars selling diamonds isnt enough for this fucking jew?? he has to to try to steal. GROSS
It's so damn annoying how all these (mainly illegal) foreigners come over here and just kill our society. Yeah, let's just get everyone doped up and in a gang, so they can go rob and kill some innocent bystanders, yay!
Well i hope DAMON THOMAS goes to jail with him!!!! he was involved in this. He beats woman, and doesn't pay child support, and used to be married to Kim Kardassian. She was smart enough to dump him. I hope Jacob doesnt go alone!
Nice FLAT HEAD. Wasn't he in that movie Dick Tracy?
The government has no problem taking drug money. After all, they are the true mob bosses of everybody
Look what Greed does!
But, why such a light sentence??
I bought all my bling from Jacob. He is a card carrying terrorist money laundering arrogant dirtbag but I love him.

Hey Perez, Look!!!! Teddy shit on the rug again.
What a surprize…a persian who's a thief…you can't overcome that gypsy blood…
duh! where did all those hip-hoppers and rappers get their drugs. they're double dipping, bling and a bong. haha
loves it.x
What does being jewish have anything to do with his criminal acts?… As far as I'm concerned it's the individual who commits the crime not a religion…. All of you who are making rude and disgusting comments about jews should be ashamed of yourself… you're not acting any better then he is…
This is shocking.
Uh, can I watch the jewelry while he's gone?
He'll have to feel that shame somewhere else since i'm sure he'll be deported the minute he gets out of the penetentiary.
I went on a job interview with Jacob last fall (to be his personal assistant) at his store in Manhattan. He seemed quite nice actually. Interestingly, he brought up the law suit himself at the interview and asked what I thought of it. I didn't know much about it at the time. In the end I didn't get the job, but it's probably for the better as I'd be out of it by now. 2.5 years is not too bad, I think he got off easily.
you all are so disgusting. go do something with your lives instead of placing blame on a religion, ethnicity, country of origin. you really all disgust me i dont think i can read perez comments anymore, but i had to respond to all of you idiots. you are all stuck in the ridiculous stereotypes your bigoted grandparents taught you. he deserves his sentence but to say his actions are a consequence of his being a jew?? gross gross gross
Re: LeonA – diddy is in it too ..
i remember seeing this guy all over mtv
is he actually a jew??
his only shame is that he got caught and not breaking the law
and that was a very mild sentence for the bulk of criminal activity
sounds like corruption flows within
and he's a disgrace to immigrants everywhere, don't spit on your plate, fool
dude why do you all have to be so fucking anti semetic? this guys crimes have nothing to do with the fact that hes jewish, and even if they did, why do people have to spread hate about ALL jews? you guys are pretty fucking ignorant if you think its ok t be antisemetic like that.
He looks like my proctologist.
All these rich pieces of shit are corrupt. Time to pay the piper. By the way, he looks like that "model" from the Vivienne Westwood post.
Re: AndyW – Love how you are calling someone out on their stupidity and you use the word like, which is usually a dumb way of expressing yourself orally, not in the written language.
Where will the stupid, moronic rappers go to get their tasteless jewelry now?
