He was subsequently sentenced to prison 9 months[4] for a federal misdemeanor.Shortly after completing his prison sentence, he founded Myspace Radio.[5] It was his hope to get back into radio, but that was short-lived when Myspace, Inc. filed a complaint with National Arbitration Forum over the name, and the National Arbitration Forum ruled against him.
