Mariah Carey fake concert promoters sentenced to prison

The man who was promoting fake Mariah Carey concerts has been sentenced to prison for 21 months.
    
 RDA Group employee Antywan Ross conned a New Jersey investor into paying him a $330,000 (GBP206,250) loan, which he said would be used to plan a series of concerts for the Hero hitmaker in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
  
However, when Carey's proposed gigs never took place, and the businessman was never paid back, he launched a legal battle against Ross for the scam.
  
On Monday (06 Jun 11) a judge ordered Ross to serve 21 months behind bars and pay $325,000 (GBP203,125) in restitution.
  
Ross pleaded guilty to wire fraud last year (10), according to the Associated Press.
