Former talk show host CARLOS WATSON (55) was sentenced to nearly 10 years in federal prison due a financial conspiracy involving his highly-publicized startup company Ozy Media, where the culture was "fake-it-'til-you-make-it." In one example, another Ozy executive impersonated a YouTube executive to hype Ozy to investment bankers — while Watson coached him, prosecutors said.

Watson and his now-defunct company were found guilty last summer of charges including wire fraud conspiracy. He has denied the allegations and plans to appeal.
