He's the man that scammed Pearl Jam.

Rickey Goodrich pleaded guilty to swindling the Seattle rock band out of $380,000, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported Friday.



As the band's former financial officer, Goodrich blew the money on family vacations and wine before he was fired in 2010, according to King County prosecutors.

He faces up to 14 months in prison and will be sentenced on Feb. 21.
