Jacob the Jeweler is going away for a while

[Madam Bijoux]

From today''s Philadelphia Daily News:
""Jacob the Jeweler" was sentenced yesterday to 2 1/2 years in federal prison for lying to investigators looking into a multistate drug ring.

"I feel ashamed that I broke the laws of this country, a country that has been so good for me," Soviet immigrant Jacob Arabov told U.S. District Judge Avern Cohn. "I will carry this shame for the rest of my life."

Arabov, the "King of Bling," launched a line of religious-themed jewelry with Kanye West and also manufactured Lil'' Kim''s line of Royalty watches."

I just saw him on some entertainment tabloid TV show a couple of days ago... I''d never heard of him before. I realized that an episode of Law & Order featured a character based on him. Oooohhh..... Jacob.
