Herald Sun: Hollywood charity man jailed [24aug04]: "A HOLLYWOOD fundraiser who organised events featuring such celebrities as former US president Bill Clinton was today jailed for more than five years for fraud.
Aaron Tonken, 38, was sentenced to 63 months behind bars after admitting fraudulently diverting hundreds of thousands of dollars destined for charity galas and using the cash to pay off his own credit card bills.
The fundraiser, who is writing a tell-all book about his political money-raining activities, siphoned off cash he raised for a charity gala billed as a tribute to diva Diana Ross, an event that never took place.
Tonken also helped produce several charitable fundraisers which included the casts of the hit US television shows The Practice and Ally McBeal"
