In August 2010 it was revealed that an East Lansing, Michigan, company owned by Vincent was involved in a scam that defrauded about 20,000 people across the United States out of more than $2 million. On August 18, 2010, Vincent and another man were indicted by a federal grand jury on mail fraud charges stemming from conduct between 2006 and 2009.[1] Vincent later pleaded guilty.[2] In July 2011 he voluntarily revoked his bond and was jailed ahead of his September 2011 sentencing.[3] He was sentenced to five and a half years in prison on September 2, 2011.[4] Upon being released in March 2016, he worked as a manager at a Battle Creek, Michigan, based restaurant called Juicy Burger until his release from parole in July 2016.
