Either this guy is really good or Nick Cannon and others need much better financial advisors. A man named George French Jones was arrested and charged with 11 felonies including grand theft, obtaining money by false pretenses, and identity theft after scamming Nick Cannon and football players Warren Moon and Jarvis Green.
According to the California Attorney General’s office Jones ripped off Jarvis Green by promising him Miami Heat season tickets and partial ownership of the team.
He also made the same offer to Charles Woodson, Warren Moon and Nick Cannon.
He tried to get $50K from Woodson, $25K from Green and only $15K from Cannon. Moon was hit the hardest after he wired $200,000 to Jones.
Jones faces more than 30 years in prison if convicted. For now prosecutors want him held without bail, unless he can prove he’s paying it with legit funds, instead of his victims’ funds.
