Jacob “The Jeweler” Indicted on Federal Money Laundering Charges

 •  XXL Magazine  •  by XXL Staff  •  69 Comments

jacob.jpgJacob “The Jeweler” Arabo, longtime provider of custom jewelry to rap stars and celebrities the world over, was arrested on federal money laundering charges yesterday (June 15) in New York, the Associated Press reports. Jacob, whose real name is Yakov Arabov, was among 16 defendants named in an indictment handed down by the Detroit US Attorney’s office. The Feds allege that Arabov, 41, conspired with the Detroit-based Black Mafia Family (BMF) to launder the proceeds of their illegal drug business. The Russian-born jewelry mogul was arrested in his midtown Manhattan showroom around 8:30 a.m. and promptly posted a $100,000 bond after an appearance in U.S. District Court.

In October 2005, the DEA arrested a group of around 30 individuals with alleged ties to the Black Mafia Family. Over three million dollars in cash were confiscated along with more than two kilos of cocaine and several weapons. The government agency suspects the organization is responsible for the distribution of more than 400 kilos of cocaine and the laundering of $270 million dollars in illicit funds. It is alleged that Jacob facilitated the laundering by exchanging expensive jewelry for dirty cash. A spokesman for Arabov’s high-end jewelry business, Jacob & Co., issued a statement saying that the arrest was “the result of an unfortunate misunderstanding that we believe will be straightened out in the next several weeks.”

  • Diva4Life

    I can’t believe that even in 2006, cats are sitting here arguing about who’s real and who’s not. Let’s start arguing about who’s going to build all of the neighborhoods back up that you so-called “gangsta ass niggas” tore down. Let’s start arguing about who’s going to be responsible for helping all of those people you so-called “gangsta ass niggas” got hooked on that poison you slang in “your” hoods that have made our race and our society look like the piece of shit it has truly become. Let’s talk about how not one of you so-called “gangsta ass niggas” has a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of because you’re still living at home with your momma and your grandmomma. Lazy bastards, get off the computer, get a life and get your paper up the legal way. That way if you want to go illegal you can always cover your ass. Truth be told, that is how old school gangstas kept their noses clean: get dirty money, make it clean money by having people to wash it. If BMF had have been smart, niggas wouldn’t have gotten their stupid asses caught. They’re so busy trying to “be fly, have “money, cars and hoes” and “teach everybody how to stunt”, where is all that money now that your stupid asses can’t afford lawyers! Sorry ass court-appointed, no money having, sorry weak excuses for men, I hope every last one of their asses gets locked up for life. And I can talk all the shit I want, because I was one of those smart BMF females (don’t think that the dudes were the only ones getting bread) that got her money, got her shit legal, and was out before the shit hit the fan. Jacob can afford his lawyers, he’s going to walk. Too bad I can’t say the same for those fallen “soldiers” who are going to spend the rest of their lives being somebody’s BITCH.

  • Capostatus

    I grew up on the southside of chicago an that nigga “Gees dat dude” dont represent us. Alot of BMF are getting locked up, but only if you knew how are out there thats not locked up. Niggas tryin to base there reasoning off Mafias movies an shit.Them old Dons an Underboss that get caught in there sixty were arrested dozens of times before that. You Dumbs probally think the mafia is some shit that use to happen along time ago, you probally dont know that the Sicilian, Russian, an Chinese mafia is still active an runnin shit. Quit interne thuggin an wacthin The God Father an thinkin u a fucking gangsta an shit before you u get your self fucked up.

  • 3_THIRTEEN

    SHIT HAPPENS….It just so that it happens to Detroit niggas. BMF is being watched just as much as the HOOD REPUCLICANS from the Detroit to LA. Fed time, aint bed time fucka’s. It’s non-fiction here, plugged everywhere. Get bread, BMF/HOOD REP. 4life.

  • 7 MILE

    Yall say BMF is stupid i bet you yall wouldnt say that shit to their face yall is some hoes them niggas was out here getting bread. so what if they fucked around and got caught they lived their life the way they chose to who are you to judge anthor man on how they make they living(Gees dat dude) u are a a wanksta AKA a BITCH

  • http://xxl nikki

    To all the haters who are just speaking on something they dont know shit about. Im from Detroit the birth place of this BMF shit, These dudes yall speakin on were and still are real people.They did alot for this run down city, but while Detroit is still looked at as this hell hole of a place BMF contributed as helping to upbring us. so fuck yall The world is BMF’S FREE BIG MEECH………..

  • http://xxlmag.com hip hop head

    When it comes to these gangs gettin busted and high profile people in hip hop going down with them it just shows the magnitude of the streets negative impact on hip hop. Hustlin gets you either dead or in jail. Havent you idiots ever read before check out queens reighns supreme, watch the real 50 cent. Yes the fame and noteriety with street cred can be beatuiful but all that unneccasarry attention comes directly from that. And when you run shit sloppy with too many people involved your set up for the big letdown, while causing a plethora of problems for hip hop and the black community. For those of you thinking some rappers arent really involved in this shit just remember pac and big think about who pac beat up before he died. And just look at the fact that jeezy is involved with these bmf cats. Rappers from the streets have a responsibility to help preserve hip hop and not ruin it for the own selfish reasons. Ill leave you with a quote form llyod banks “im around niggas that dont give a fuck about hip hop.”

    dumb fuck, what u need more money for

  • FL. BOI

    Cats pay big money to stay out of jail. Nobody wants to be there, (Unless u looking at a shitload of probation & u know damn-well u can’t do no papers). That shit is fucked up what happen to them BMF niggas. Some niggas got a plan to make paper & get out, some just get blinded by the life. Its a personal story behind each one of ‘dem cats. Plus, its hard to keep a low profile when u got that much paper floatin’ around. Just to be able to make 6 figures on these streets is a blessing. But when U get into that multi-million $ paper the shit becomes bigger than u. U get “trapped” in someways. It takes a strong person to decide to step back from that shit. First, u make the money, then at some point, the money starts to make u. U get hooked on the fast money & the shit is an adrenelin rush when U able to stunt amongst those odds. Hopefully BMF can try to save a few of its soldiers even though niggas was allegedly doin’ wrong. Ain’t shit gangsta about movin’ blocks. That shit is a big responsibilty (anybody who fuck w/ blocks know what I mean by responsibility) w/ big risks!! Money is good But we shouldn’t look up to cats who do that shit cause everythang got a cause & effect. Lets make the bad money do some good.

    I kinda wish Jeezy didn’t really shout out BMF, cause honestly I hadn’t heard of ‘em til he said something. & If they heavy like that, then they should prefer to be as unknown as they can be. Feds get a hard dick taking down big muthafuckas who make small mistakes.

  • jimy jackoff

    find another jewler shit.

  • BIg Wood

    The problem is that we are not smart enough to realize that it is the mafuckin government that’s alluring brothas and sistas to sell they soul fo some dough. yeah you can ball tell you fall, but then what…What about yo kids and they kids’ kids. it is a continued destruction to our community and our family structure. I definetly ain’t hating brothas making money BMF or anybody else, but we gotta have a method to the madness.I’m sorry most people get into the game to feed they family. what happens to your family when uncle sam take all that shit back? BMF did all that for what? Now you back to square one. I bet if you asked their families if they would rather have the fame and money or their loved ones free which would they choose? Last year they were in Lambos and Phantoms in Dub Magazine now what the fuck? BMF are real ass dudes no doubt, real fuckin stupid..Jacob the Jewler…real fuckin stupid…All that loot and you can’t clean yo money no better than that? Where are yo high power lawyers? Fuck movie scripts, if you got $300 million, you shouldn’t get caught like that. Yeah it is a Fed conspiracy to kill black and brown peoples, but they ain’t gotta work hard cuz we help them. All hustlers need to have a fuckin plan. Big Wood has spoken…

    I’m from Detroit, and to put it to you real, the D birth that whole ATL swagger. Make’n it rain, and that go hard ballin’ shit yall see in videos. BMF created that swagger for ATL, and it started in the D. Them niggas ain’t forgot where home is, cause they still run shit low key. 263 created leaders and buisnessmen, where every member is a boss. That’s how you create longevity. This is from a man who seen it happen in real time. 263 is a movement that didn’t stop with them, but tons of other innovators that chose to go against the grain. Peace Meech, Tee, Stuckey,(PA Down),Reg(PA Down), and all the other Detroit niggaz that gave ya’ll Rap niggaz somthing to rap about.

  • BEZ

    I see it simply as this, how come when brothas get big doing the dope game, we wash our money in the same shit the next nigga did, exmample, music studio’s, car dealerships, etc? Why not do something totally misdirection, like open up a fitness club, or put in to become part owner in a sports team? When I see white people balling, they have these sick ass mansions, and they dont be driving bentlys and phantoms, they lease all of their cars, and laugh at niggas putting 26′s on damn Range Rovers. That kind of money, I understand man its hard to not want to floss, we adicted to the floss game. I would open like apartment complexes everywhere, and make these dumb asses who are turning apartments into condo’s look really stupid! Then, finance my own jet line, and lease it out to the Britts! Im not hating on BMF, do your thing, make your money…however, the only way we always get caught is because we involved in Nigger business, not Big Business. Meech, whenever you get out if you do…find some business student, and invest your money into him to become part owner in the Detroit Lions, or Detroit pistons. Or even do something ill like, start your own computer line, fuck apple, dell, and compaq…fuck the jewelry, flashy cars etc…Big Boys move in silence. Like that Nigga Shawn Carter, who ever thought that when Dame tried to name that slide ass nigga camron VP of Rocafella music, some cracker on the New Jersey Nets owner team was like…”Just sell all of your shares to the company with Kareem Biggs, then buy it back, and terminate ALL their asses, including Mr. Dame Dash music, bullshit show, stuck in a harlem world fassad, dont even really pay the cats on his bullshit show!” Now all of you have made some valid points…if you husltin, hustle nigga, but please my niggaz, i love yall, move in silence, fuck the old mob, then when you move in silence, you blow! People will be like, ay man, I aint even know you was doing it that big, and your response to them will be, “Just because you dont hear about it, or see it, it doesnt mean its not being done!” Now Free Shyne and put him on aftermath, cause what I just said…”Thats Gangsta!”

  • RotterdamSoldier

  • Double L

    What i think is…
    Bush sr. is smuggling crack in metric tons to the mexicans who are sending it to ppl like BMF. BMF gets caught b/c someone blurted out their name on DVD, no… they get caught because they too flashy, no…. they got caught b/c of the connect man in mexico or whereever who is FBI. this guys recieves the crack from bush sr. and mixes it in with the columbians stuff to it would leave no trace on bush sr. so when they really started moving keys thats when the feds knew about them. they let them get big, got tired of them and took them out. and now they just got the man who was holding a portion of their money. so instead of having to put the crack in the hood themselves, they just hand BMF do it. but still, meech and them are good ppl, i dont know about freeing him b/c of the risk of crakk bein put back in the hoods, but while meech is in prison, best believe that he’ll be out sooner or later.
