It's time for some rock news comin' at ya fast and furious! This episode: A rock n roll ponzi scheme; Chuck Berry is reunited with a stolen guitar; Fiona Apple spends night in jail and STP piss off Canadian fans.

When you think ponzi scheme, you usually think.. wall street business dude. But this time, LA based UK guitarist Marino De Silva faces up to 8 years in prison for scamming investors out of millions. De Silva told investors he had unreleased tracks by Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, Carlos Santana and the Stones. He also claimed to be a famous producer and said he was gonna remaster and release the unreleased tracks in his possession. He also claimed to be a Grammy winner, a close friend of Keith Richards and a producer of charity records… except he never actually gave the money he raised to charity.
Apparently he took people for millions using his Angels on Earth Foundation as a front.
So how was it a ponzi scheme? De Silva kept moving the money around, giving investors tiny portions owed to them all the while.. spending the rest of the cashola.
Oh he did deliver recordings but they weren't the promised unreleased tracks by famous artists but were instead poor quality covers recorded by De Silva himself.
