Jacob Arabov Jacob the Jeweler Jail

Posted on June 24th, 2008 in Entertainment by lalate

Jacob the Jeweler


Jacob Arabov, aka Jacob the Jeweler, is heading to Jail.

The businessman known to the hiphop world as simply “Jacob the Jeweler” has agreed to serve 2 1/2 years for lying to federal investigators.

Jacob reportedly plead guilty in October as part of a deal with prosecutors, giving him the minimum sentence of just 3 years and 1 month. That sentence was shaved 7 months because of his charity work. He was ordered to pay a $50 fine and $2 million payment to the government.“I feel ashamed that I broke the laws of this country, a country that has been so good for me,” Arabov said. “I will carry this shame for the rest of my life.” He was arrested in 2006 of conspiring to launder $270 million.

Arabov was known as a celebrity jeweler, also given the title of “King of Bling”.
