Got your attention, eh?
Richie, or not Richie, is stuck in prison for 16 years - this guy pretended to be him and the real Richie had to hire lawyers to prove he wasn't involved:
Quote:
SINCE August 2002, the courts have been graced with the presence of a rock star or, at least, a person posing as one.
Depending on when you met him - and how much money you had - he would introduce himself as either Romeo Pacifico or Richard Sambora, left.
One was his real name, the other an identity stolen from the lead guitarist of the rock band Bon Jovi. By either name, Pacifico was a consummate fraudster who swindled more than $25 million.

Well, I thought it was interesting. Gave me a laugh - but it just shows than even the rich and famous can have their identities stolen!
