Word to the wise to all artists out there. Make sure your money is in order and legit…and make sure your jeweler’s paper source is clean too. The much famed case of jeweler to the stars Jacob the Jeweler has come to an end with him giving $2 million in laundered funds to the Detroit D.A.

According to the Chicago Tribune, Jacob was sentenced in June 2008 to 2 1/2 years in federal prison for lying to investigators looking into a multi-state drug ring. He was accused of conspiring to launder drug profits for the “BlackMafia Family,” a ring that operated out of the Detroit area from 1990 to 2005.
