KEY POINTS:
An Adelaide man, who took the name of a rock star to steal millions of dollars from finance companies, has been jailed for 16 years.
Romeo Pacifico, who changed his name to Richard Sambora, the same as the Bon Jovi guitarist, managed to obtain cash loans totalling US$25 million ($31 million).
