This type of scam is actually running rampant in the U.S. and artists are the ones getting sued for someone else booking their shows pretending to be them.

These victims probably feel doubly bad for being duped by a guy stupid enough to use the name of a company he legally created (and therefore had registered with the local and state governments) in his scams. This was probably one of the easier fraud cases the FBI has had to pursue.

A few more phone calls would have actually solved everything - firstly, to Pharrell's actual management agency. This guy David Cho deserves a dunce cap as big as Pharrell's oversized hat.
