Designer Marc Jacobs Pays $1 Million to Get Out of Bribery Charges

Off of museums now and onto fashion where designer Marc Jacobs will soon have one million less dollars after he and his company have agreed to pay a fine to the city of New York stemming from his connection to bribery charges in securing a regular spot at the 26th Street Armory for his fashion shows. This, of course, is punishment for agreeing to pay the bribes to James Jackson, the manager of the city-owned space, who demanded additional money from anyone interested in using it to host an event, something he’s now looking at a possible 15 years in prison for.
