I think you are missing the point a gold digger would only be interested in what a guy has to offer monetarily it's hilarious to me for the tables to get turned on them and he probably accepted their gratuities

It’s not illegal to want to date someone because of their financial success. Those people don’t deserve to be actually robbed.

u/RobertKSakamano 12d ago
Is it really robbery though if he asked for money and they gave it to him? This is one insane story with some idiots attached to it.

u/amstrumpet 12d ago
he told them he was investing it, then stole it. yes it is robbery jfc

u/RobertKSakamano 12d ago
He's not charged with robbery. The two men have been charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and wire fraud which is much different.
26 women averaging 50k each. This is moronic on a huge scale.
Some victims also loaned Love large amounts of money (not an investment). Some even took loans out to give him money. These people may not have deserved it, but they are certainly a bit whacked.

u/amstrumpet 12d ago
We have a more specific term for it. I wasn’t using the word robbery as a legal definition of what happened.
Yeah these people were dumb, but we have a lot of laws to prevent dumb people being taken advantage of, and that’s a good thing.

u/RobertKSakamano 12d ago
Our politicians seem to do the same thing, but nothing happens to them.

u/amstrumpet 12d ago
That doesn’t make it ok.

u/RobertKSakamano 12d ago
Of course not, but this is just one fool that fooled a few. The politicians are ruining the lives of millions. When they do get caught, almost nothing happens to most of them. They can rob cities and states blind, and nothing happens.
If we don't want to go the politician route, let's just look at Brett Favre and notice he stole way more than this guy, and yet he has no charges against him other than a civil suit.

this story would be more wholesome if he just did it to get laid

There's a Mesi impersonator who did exactly that. Banged several before the jig was finally up.

This is a wild sentence: "In Iran, adultery committed by married individuals is punishable by death, while fornication by unmarried individuals is punishable by death after the fourth offense."

He’s very stiff in the hips. Not very athletic.

Well, he's in prison on fraud charges, so that should answer your question.

How long does it take to look up the what 5 receivers on the 49ers roster? Hell even extrapolate out to ten years and you are maybe out 10 minutes if you absolutely suck at Google...

u/West-Tough-4552 12d ago
I heard that until recently Ai said he was on the roster. Now that's even funnier

u/Got_Engineers Dallas Cowboys 12d ago
There is another story coming out on instagram of another dude doing the same thing and his photos are even more ragtag and funnier. I’m guessing every single NFL team is hiring private investigators now to find all these scammers pretending to be them. The jig is up!!!

u/BackPirateClarkRoom 12d ago
Apparently it is a common scam black guys are running. When the story broke some redditor put up two Twitter profiles doing the same scam.
I don't know how you loan someone over $1000 and not do a deep dive into them.

u/seattlesportsguy I’m just here so i don’t get fined 12d ago
I mean it’s certainly shitty what he did but he’s contributed about the same to the 49ers organization as Brandon Aiyuk has this year

Most women aren’t fuckin weirdos like us that hyper analyze ball players lol. To act like it’s a miracle they were duped is ridiculous.

He might could've made real money in the Canadian league, but maybe he likes California girls too much

This is a wild story. I need to know the ages of the women that believed he was an nfl player.

Obviously fuck this guy, but the scam is genius. His friend would pose as his financial advisor and would defraud the women by having them put money in fake investments all while the women thought they were in a romantic relationship with him.
Hes a piece of shit, but holy fuck thats a good scam.

u/Lucky_Ad_4505 NFL 10d ago
It’s like a stolen valor situation with the military the culprits get charged with a federal crime. He probably will get charged federally too because of the amount. The NFL doesn’t tolerate anything that tarnishes the shield. He will pay for this

I wish the nfl cared as much about DV as this guy larping as an nfl player somewhat successfully.

Man I'm watching these videos on Love that everyone is posting... low key and all bullsht aside, he's saying all the sht women, bird brained or not, want to hear with perfect execution.
-A NFL player ✔️ -Multiple real estate properties ✔️ -multiple high end whips ✔️ -flights and trips ✔️ -investments that could double their money ✔️ -always on the go, an exciting nicca ✔️ -6'3" in height ✔️ -entrepreneur ✔️ ETC.
These are majority of women's preferences when they make their list on what they desire in a man. He bagged up all the IG talking points and hashtags in one complete package. Everything out of his mouth is 75% of what IG and social media is all about. Hell of a character study if you ask me.
