The man who was promoting fake Mariah Carey concerts has been sentenced to prison for 21 months.
    
 RDA Group employee Antywan Ross conned a New Jersey investor into paying him a $330,000 (GBP206,250) loan, which he said would be used to plan a series of concerts for the Hero hitmaker in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
  
However, when Carey's proposed gigs never took place, and the businessman was never paid back, he launched a legal battle against Ross for the scam.
  
On Monday (06 Jun 11) a judge ordered Ross to serve 21 months behind bars and pay $325,000 (GBP203,125) in restitution.
  
Ross pleaded guilty to wire fraud last year (10), according to the Associated Press.
