    In court, assistant U.S. attorney Ryan Finkel characterized Davis as having allegedly executed a "sophisticated and intelligent effort" to mask his misdeeds.

    Reasonable doubt.

    Not a lot of remorse from Big Baby in that video. But whatever.

    The supposed ring leader of the fraud scheme was ex-Rockets Terrance Williams.
    I just looked it up and looks like he got 10 years last year.
    Damn...

    Honestly, truly a shame. Many players get used to the high life and don't know how to earn money after they finish their career. Shame they turn to crime while many of us are working 2-3jobs per household adult to make an honest living.

    It’s crazy, man. He made like 35-45 million dollars in his roughly 8 year career. Thats so much money and that’s a respectable amount of time in the NBA almost making it to a decade.

    To put it in perspective, if you’re a normal average worker making about $60k a year, it would take about 750 Y E A R S to make that $45 million.

    It makes me so angry that so many players and people can’t handle their money when they are famous/athletes/etc while we’re out here searching for interviews and trying to get jobs and a consistent salary.

    Being thankful really does go a long way.

    Is the 34 mill the amount he got after taxes?

    I often wonder why Athletes didn't use the Tax dodging tactics that businessmen and politicians do

    Not much you can do to avoid/lower taxes on ordinary income (as opposed to capital gains). The tax system favors wealthy people, not highly paid athletes. Remember what Chris Rock said: “Shaq is rich, but the white man who signs his check is wealthy.”

    The tax system favors those who own businesses or provide a service that the government needs assistance with. The rules are the same for a businessperson that makes $100 or $100,000,000,000,000. And one of the easiest ways to wipe away ordinary income is via depreciation from purchasing real estate.

    Wealthy people (or the folks they can afford to hire) are just more aware of the rules that exist for everyone.

    Either way, looks like he stole less than Brett Favre but got way more time (like some compared to none). Hmm....

    Let's see what crime he's committed first. They still haven't told us what crime he's committed after 15 days in court.

    Meanwhile the border is still wide open. Failure to enforce the laws on the books is a crime. In fact it's treasonous.

    Bunch of BS banana Republic kinda crap the deep state is pulling. Don't believe me? Then Trump being in court instead of campaigning because he slept with a p*rn star and the judge allowed her to tell the jury about their sexual encounter even though it has nothing to do with the case should tell you all you need to know, but it won't.

    Tell you what, I like this thread, let's take this B's over to the political section.
