Ricki Lee Jones Sentenced.

July 31, 2009

Subtle spelling differences matter. Rickie Lee Jones is a singer-songwriter. But Ricki Lee Jones is a St. Louis-area contracter who pleaded guilty to tax charges arising from a scheme to skim funds from a environmental remediation project for personal use; he will spend 15 months in prison. He also has to reimburse the IRS $2.4 million and BP Amoco, his customer, $1.2 million.

While Ricki has his problems, Rickie is doing fine, as far as I know.
