Jonny Craig (Emarosa & Dance Gavin Dance) Scam

[treghet]

The frontman of Emarosa and Dance Gavin Dance (who he was recently kicked out of) has involved himself in an internet scam with fans. I've been following this story since last week and thought it was pretty funny.

Story of the scam: here (http://mindequalsblown.net/2011/02/jonny-craig%E2%80%99s-great-5000-swindle-the-story/)

And a new article about how it's being resolved: here (http://www.altpress.com/news/entry/exclusive_jonny_craig_checks_into_detox_scam_victi ms_to_be_reimbursed/)

Last week Jonny Craig's Last.fm page was "abused" by fans, editing the bio and uploading this picture and getting it set as the default:

I thought the scam was going to be getting people to pay money for his piece of shit CDs...

Shitty musicians in shitty bands turn out to be shitty people. Seems right.

My roommate was listening to DGD the other day... what a load of shit.

[Blitzkrieg Witchcraft]

Never heard of either band or this guy but he sounds like a first-class douchebag who at the very least deserves jailtime and probably also deserves a severe beating for taking advantage of his fans.
