Jacob the jeweler facing money laundering charges

I just read in our local Atlanta news that Jacob the jeweler, the maker of the ugliest watches on the planet, is facing charges of money laundering in connection with the arrest of the heads of the Black Mafia Family, a local gang that imported and sold hundreds of kilos of cocaine. Jacob is one of a group being charged with laundering $270 Million Dollars of the Black Mafia Family's money.

Hopefully this will mean the end of his selling his crappy watches, or anything else!

O Yay! the world will be a better place without those God awfull watches. I have seen a fake one and a real one and could not tell them apart, eg both both looked crappily made! whats David Beckham going to do now, hopefully stop taking fashion advice from his very ordinary looking stick insect wife and go for a real mans watch like a rollie, omega or Panerai!
I am sure if he logged on here he would get the right advice!

Got Beckham's autograph last Thursday at the MLS all star game; humongous watch, didn't look very good. Didn't know what it was (had a hard time seeing the face), now I guess I know.

I've seen Beckham wearing a Audermars Piguet Royal Oak T3. A real huge chunk of metal.
