"Big Brother" Winner in Big Trouble

(AP)  Authorities say the winner of reality TV show "Big Brother" has confessed to using his $500,000 prize to buy thousands of oxycodone pills and resell them.

Adam Jasinski, of Delray Beach, Florida, has been charged with attempting to sell 2,000 pills in Massachusetts to a government witness.

Federal prosecutors said Jasinski was arrested Saturday after he flew to Boston and showed the witness two plastic bags filled with oxycodone pills. Oxycodone is a narcotic painkiller that some use to get a heroin-like high.

The 31-year-old Jasinski won $500,000 last year on the CBS reality show.

Authorities say Jasinski told a federal drug enforcement agent that he has been using his winnings to buy thousands of oxycodone pills and has been reselling them along the East Coast for the past several months.

Rather ironic that the characteristics of dishonesty and deceit that enables a contestant to win Big Brother is also the ones that get them in trouble after Big Brother.

Nothing warms the cockles of my heart than a good, uplifting family show-Snicker. What the helll is a cockle anyway?

They should give dumb criminals double the time. They wouldn't know any difference.

He should be put on the dumb criminals list. How stupid to squander his money! Even dumber to admit it!

Typical, all these "Reality" shows should be cancelled. They are a waste of time and are really stupid. Nothing more than a distraction from what is really going on.
