Winning $500K on the Big Brother reality show sounds like a dream come true but for last year's winner, Adam Jasinski, it wasn't enough. Jasinski used his winnings on Big Brother to bankroll what he thought was a great business: selling thousands of oxycodone pills of to customers along the east coast. Now he's being held pending a detention hearing after being busted for selling the oxycodone.
Before Adam Jasinski became a reality TV celebrity, he was a public relations manager for the United Autism Foundation. Jasinski was fired before winning season nine of “Big Brother” after calling the children he worked for “retards” on the show. He promised on the air to give the foundation $100,000 of his earnings, but it was unclear last night if he had followed through.
Big Brother is a reality television show in which a group of people live together in a large house, isolated from the outside world but continuously watched by television cameras. Each series lasts for around three months, and there are usually fewer than 15 participants. The housemates try to win a cash prize by avoiding periodic evictions from the house.
Adam Jaskinki is probably wishing he were back in the Big Brother house and not the big house. Arrested Saturday, Jasinski is in custody pending a detention hearing Thursday afternoon before Magistrate Judge Leo T. Sorokin. CBS' Big Brother winner was been arrested at a North Reading, MA strip mall for dealing oxycodone. done in by a government witness secretly recording their rendezvous. He had flown in from his home state of Florida meet his "customer".
The reality show Big Brother's season 9 winner, Adam Jaskinski, isn't alone with legal problems. Season 6 Big Brother winner Mike Malin, aka Boogie, was arrested back in 2008 for assaulting a waitress at a Denver sports bar.
If Big Brother winner Adam Jasinski is convicted of selling the drug oxycodone, he faces up to 20 years behind bars and a $1 million fine.
