Jonny Craig Apologizes for MacBook Scam

by | Mar 9, 2011

Dance Gavin Dance frontman Jonny Craig has issued a public apology for his MacBook scam.

In February, Craig listed a MacBook computer for sale via his Twitter account, and reportedly convinced fans to wire transfer hundreds of dollars in exchange for a laptop that was never delivered.

“I want to apologize for my recent behavior,” Craig commented. “My actions regarding taking advantage of fans was inexcusable. I’m in the process of paying everyone back so please forgive me. My state of mind was completely shot and obviously my decision making skills were heavily impaired due to my drug use. I’ve since been in detox and successfully completed the treatment. I’ve learned a lot from this ordeal and I realized I’ve redeemed my second chance. I want to personally thank Eric at Artery and Craig at Rise for helping me through this emotionally and financially. I’m embarrassed with my past actions, I want to make amends to everyone I hurt. Again, sorry to all my fans, family, band mates and colleagues. I’m truly sorry. Now back to work…I’m looking forward to seeing all the DGD fans and their positive energy that they always bring to the shows. With that being said, the past will stay dead and let’s toast to the future kids.”
