It says 16 years for impersonating Randy, but as the article states, he was using his status as "Randy Meisner" to solicit "donations" for a charity - and he was taking as much as he could get from his victims. He did this to multiple people. Who knows how many thousands of dollars he conned people out of. That's stealing, plain and simple, and you can get 16 years for that, easy.
I think that guy is probably mentally unstable. Scary.
