Sean Jones Collected Passed Go And Collected $200 Too Many Times

Sean Jones has a very troubled past. Just look to a post that I made on June 15th, 2007, which highlights his history of offenses [Sean Jones Would Like A Get Out Of Jail Free Card]. In that post, I alluded to his experience in making bad decisions dating back to 1999.

In 1999, Jones registered his investment advisory business, Amaroq Asset Management, with the SEC. The latest charge for Jones? He has failed to turn over records to the SEC for Amaroq [Ex-L.A. Raiders defensive lineman Sean Jones faces SEC charge]. At issue is the fact that Amaroq maintained a website until the middle of 2007 even though Jones had told the SEC that Amaroq was absolved in 2004. Within the time period discussed, Jones served as a scout for the Oakland Raiders. The front office had no idea that Jones was still running Amaroq (if in fact he was).

Via Marc Isenberg, “The SEC claims Jones ‘ultimately claimed that all his records had either been destroyed in a fire or inadvertently sold by a storage company’.” Sneaky. Very very sneaky.
