Jacob " The Jeweler" Arabov, the famed hip hop jeweler, was sentenced today to 2 1/2 years in prison for lying to investigators and not testifying to federal agents on jewels that were seized in an arrest he had information on.
The jewels in question belonged to the alleged co-founder of Black Mafia Family (BMF), Terry Flenory. Also known for drug trafficking, Flenory pleaded guilty last October, and was sentenced to 30 months behind bars along with a $50,000 fine. According to the Detroit Free Press, for withholding information regarding this case, Jacob faced a maximum of 46 months in prison.
The jeweler, admitted his wrong doings during sentencing earlier today in Detroit telling the judge, "I feel ashamed that I broke the law of this country, and its been so good to me and my family."
The judge set the date of January 15th that Jacob must report to begin serving time, as well as making recommendations that he completes his sentence in a federal facility in Pennsylvania.
Police arrested the jeweler in 2006 at his New York shop on money laundering charges of approximately $270 million in drug money.

=Cam=
The Feds don't care about a lil 13 year old girl getting fucked, cause most of them get turned on by that type of sick shit. The feds want the minorities to stay in a hole and don't come out. But them BMF niggas were real hustlers, theses niggas were fucking w diamonds, damn. that's hard.
hell yea net war!^^ 270 million in drug money?? WTF!
My Opinion is right
Your a gay bitch and nobody gives a fuck about what you sayin.
How you gonna try to associate R.Kelly's baby-raping case to this money laundering shit?
The crimes are different like night & day.
lmfao at this fool
OMG Lol!!!! Yayo Is That You LMAO
^^^classic...lol...
=Cam=
I GOT A LIL RESPECT 4 DAT NIGGA I GUESS, ATLEAST HOMIE DIDNT SNITCH
How da fuck did he get a longer sentence than the guy he lied about?!? Thats some ass backwards shit.... our judicial system is a fuckin joke! Fuck da feds!!
How the hell did that nigga from BMF get only 30 months for all that shit they did! That shit would get you life in prison. Feds start at 10-20 years for that dope so how in the hell the Kingpin gets 30 months??? I need his lawyer number A.S.A.P. i know alot of niggas that could used that lawyer cause he good to get a kingpin only 30 months.
hE SNITCHED ON SOME DAMN BODY!
them bmf niggas is serious... try lookin up gangs like ddp and ms 13 those dudes get it in
But Now they snitchin on people
Aint this the same dude dat tried to get Jeezy caught up?
hE'LL BE ALRITE....HE GOT MUNNY PUT AWAY...I DON'T FEEL SORRY 4 THAT LIL ASS SENTENCE!
it was either snitch and risk ya life and ya family's lives or spend about a year and a half in prison. he picked the smart choice. that BMF kimgpin must have had a great lawyer
This dude about to do his little 2 piece in club fed and come home and be right back fuckin with them gangsters.
Diamonds are worth big money and he got a solid connect on the cheap ones.
=$
TI could use some lessons...
Duke went out hard, no names, no reduced sentenced, no nothing, Damn, I really thought he would be the one the Jakes (hip hop cops) would crack since they know he deals with all these crazy rappers. Honestly, Jacob is straight Bossin, sonn has to report to Jail on January 15th, you know that more then enough time to get his business in order: not only his gwap, but also some Guard payoffs to make sure his cell is comfortable: cable Tv (w/ Tivo), Laptop, good food etc,…trust me Jacob is the Real Life Mobster sonn,…shiiit even Gotti & Pauli went away for a lil bit,…lets hope he learns his lesson
hahahaha word that nigga aint gona suffer behind no bars he gona have it good till he gets out and when he gets out he still gona be rich and have money. fuck 50 cent g unit fuckin nonsense bunch of pussy ass niggas that cant rap LAX album of the year july 22nd the game best rapper alive ya digggggggggggggggg
I think they put 30months by mistake. i read in a magazine he got life but because he turned in money and assets they reduced it to 30 years...and he didnt snitch on jeezy someone else in BMF did and BMF was all over the country so he had nothin to do wit it
Man, I know this off the subject...but c'mon, some of yall are straight homo with your names.
50 Cent GOAT- Guilty, I think that might be the greatest overstatement in mankinds history....ohh wait...
PLIES GOAT- Nope this takes the cake...Plies isnt even a good rapper, let alone the GOAT.
Same goes to the Weezy GOAT and anyone else who puts goat on thier screename. Exceptions:
Nas, Jay, Pac, Biggie, Air Jordan, KG!!!!!, Ali, Frazier, Roy Jones Jr, Tyson( pre Robin Givens drama), Tony Hawk, Bucky Lasek, Wayne Gretzky, Jackie Robinson, Nolan Ryan, Hank( Fuck Barry Bonds) Aaron....see there are plent of other names that deserve GOAT status. Some of yall need to quit, seriously...Plies and Weezy and 50....stop, just stop.
whats next mike jones and mims goats.
When I see a mims goat Im gonna erase my account and retire from defsounds.

Laundry mate is cool and all, but the cleaners is a better rinse cycle.
Lol...
In this situation I cant even front. Jacob's got balls...but lets be honest: if he did snitch...would niggas still buy his chains? Fuck yeah.
Just like how niggas is gonna cop TI's Paper Trail album...and its more than obvious he snitched. Lotta niggas here in America walkin, talkin, bitch-ass hypocrites. Word is Bond

Damn Jacob.....2 1\2 years....Well phuckin with them niggas...
2 an a half aint really that bad considering wut coula happend if he snitched
damn bmf fell off. In all honesty he got what he deserves. Why the fuck would fuck with drug money when you make million dollar chains and watches. I know he has made over 200 of those, so its not like you have not seen a couple hundred milli.
R.I.P. CR We miss you already homie.
yeahh cuzz thats my cuzz . Thats the best investment he coulda made. Watch his business double up instantly.
for jacob not snitching, his stock is going to go through the roof but you are right @ "Rome Jones"......niggas are going to be rocking the same watches,chains,and bracelets for a few years unless they go to another jeweler.........but NO ONE [jeweler wise]..i repeat "NO ONE" is fucking with Jacob on the jewelery game, he has that shit on lock
Dis Nigga Make Me Proud
BMF will take of this nigga
Jacob need to take this as a lesson learned.. messing with Negros ain't gon do you no good.. lol nah real talk.. i mean, what can you say here except for.. 2 and a half years in prison is better than gettin you and ya whole family murdered..
and as far as this whole "Whack Rapper GOAT" screen name shit.. ya'll niggaz need therapy.. especially you plies.. i'll pray for you.
