From
the AP:
Ex-NFL cornerback Will Allen and his business partner have been sentenced to prison for running a Ponzi scheme that took in more than $35 million.
A federal judge in Boston Wednesday sentenced Allen, of Davie, Florida,
and Susan Daub, of Coral Springs, Florida, each to six years in prison
and three years of supervised release. They also were ordered to pay
restitution totaling $17 million.
Allen and Daub collected millions from investors between 2012 and
2015, saying it would be used for high-interest loans to professional
athletes. Their Massachusetts business made some loans but they also
diverted money to themselves and other ventures.
This isn't his first run-in with the law (
from Wiki):
Allen was arrested February 20, 2010 and charged with driving under
the influence when he was stopped in a late-model Ferrari at 3:30 a.m.
at the corner of Fifth Street and Alton Road, said Miami Beach police
spokesman Detective Juan Sanchez.[2]
According to the arrest report, Allen approached a police road-block
and instead of following the detour, he kept driving toward a police
car, stopping only two feet from it.
Will Allen was placed on injured reserve September 5, 2010 because of
a knee, just one week before season opener ending his 2010 season.
In other news, we still don't know whether there is going to be a JNC here in Florida. There's been no clarity on who will permanently fill Ferrer's slot as U.S. Attorney or how it will be done. Ben Greenberg is the acting U.S. Attorney.

I just assumed federal district court judges would be selected in an Apprentice-like reality T.V. show. Tell me you wouldn't watch that! My money would be on DOM.
My money is on no Inc at least for usa
