Jonathan Schwartz pleaded guilty to embezzling $5 million dollars!
A federal judge in California has recently ruled Jonathan Schwartz to be guilty of embezzling $5 million dollars from singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette and other clients. The former business manager will spend six years behind bars to other charges as well that include wire fraud and filing a false tax return.
Schwartz issued an apology after pleading guilty of his charges. He wrote, “At first, I ‘borrowed’ a little from clients, with the hopes that I would pay them back if I won that night’s bet. That snowballed, and as I kept losing, I kept stealing. I kept telling myself that I just needed one lucky break, and I’ll pay them back.”
He continued: “[When I was finally caught, a bright spotlight shined on my deplorable conduct. I could not hide any longer and hit rock bottom. By seeing how pathetic I had become, I finally got the courage to ask for help.”
Alanis Morissette responded with a statement, “I would be apprehensive to believe any words that come out of Jonathan Schwartz’s mouth.”
