The last of three federal lawsuits pursued by Darren McFadden, a former Arkansas running back who claimed his former financial adviser stole millions of dollars from him over several years dating back to 2008, was recently dismissed without a public explanation.
In a judgment declaring "all relief sought is denied, and the case is closed," U.S. District Judge James Moody Jr. said the dismissal was "consistent with" another order that he filed under seal on the same day -- Dec. 16.
As has been the case for months, attorneys involved in all three related cases have refused to comment, even to confirm that a settlement was reached.
