I’m w/ Mavis here. This guy not only committed fraud, but he did it in Kasem’s name. This is not about getting some free goods, this is about ruining Kasem’s credit and reputation. It’s called identity theft now.

As for banning him from doing it again? If this guy stole my ID, I wouldn’t want him earning a living off me by continuing to do impressions of me and get paid for it.

Good points all. But, Kasem actually went to court and asked that the guy be put away for the maximum because he was such a danger. When was the last time you heard someone going to jail for a year after the non-violent theft of a few thousand dollars on a first offense? Usually restitution and fines would be sufficient.

On top of that, Mr. Kasem had him legally banned from doing the impression for life? Seems a bit overboard to me.

“And where’s my orange smoothie!? Goddamit I asked for an orange smoothie like 20 minutes ago!”

You might be able to find it on their website.

Stand-up comic Brian Evans would call business and impersonate Mr. Kasem to get himself free credit. Eventually he was spent a year behind bars at Casey Kasem’s insistence (who made a personal court appearance to tell the judge that Evans was a menace to society.) You can read about it by clicking on my name.

The court ordered Evans to never perform his Kasem impersonation again. In a radio interview 12 years after his release from prison, he was still refusing to do the impersonation for fear that Mr. Kasem would push for prosecution.

and no one made you read an article titled \ten fact salute to casey kasem\- what else were you expecting?
