Summary

A judge has sentenced CJ Evins to 72 months in prison for his role in a $20 million wire fraud scheme where he and another man impersonated NFL players, including Michael Penix Jr., David Njoku, and Xavier McKinney, to obtain fraudulent loans.

Our Reading

The habit gets a new name.

Impersonating NFL players to get loans is the new “side hustle”.

Using fake documents and disguises to get millions is just “creative financing”.

And getting caught and sentenced to prison is just “a minor setback”.

Impersonating others to get ahead is just a “business strategy”.

And the sentence is just a “slap on the wrist” for a “white-collar crime”.
