Two men were found guilty of impersonating Justin Bieber, Billie Eilish and Post Malone.
The NBC news reported that the convicts Terronce Morris and Blake Kelly faked contracts with bogus signatures to collect money from a concert promoter for a music festival.
Convicts Collected A Million
According to reports, the pair of suspects pleaded guilty to committing fraud and identity theft.
Federal prosecutors said the suspects fetched $1.35 million after convincing concert promoters to send the money.
The pair also talked to the promoter, posing as Justin Bieber, which further convinced the man on the other side to believe them.
Suspects Used The Money
Both the suspects allegedly used the money to finance their luxurious lifestyle before being arrested.
The pair of suspects were handed over 20 years of prison sentence each, which is scheduled to take place in May.
Justin Bieber’s attorney, Michael Rhodes, said the singer was saddened to hear about the scam.
