Four men are accused of running a concert scheme in which they tried to get investors to pay millions of dollars for shows they said were for A-list singers Rihanna, Bruno Mars and Janet Jackson, federal authorities said.
After representatives of the"Umbrella" singer denied knowing Asare and told FBI that she had no plans to do a tour, an undercover agent contacted Asare posing as an interested investor, according to the filings. A website for Rio Vista redirects to a Wikipedia page and a call to a number listed for them was not immediately returned.
In both instances, representatives of Jackson and Mars denied knowing Asare and his co-defendants and said the singers did not authorize him to solicit investors. They also denied agreeing, or even knowing about, the concerts.
