Cowboys’ Darren McFadden claims financial planner mishandled $15M

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Dallas Cowboys running back Darren McFadden has sued his longtime business manager, saying he misappropriated and mishandled money throughout his NFL career, including $3 million lost in a bitcoin business venture.

The $15 million lawsuit was filed Tuesday against Michael Vick of Mabelvale, Arkansas, and 10 unknown others named only as “Doe.”

Vick, who is not the former NFL player, told The Associated Press on Thursday he hadn’t seen the lawsuit and declined to comment immediately.

McFadden’s lawsuit said that two days after his 2008 debut with the Oakland Raiders, Vick used fraudulent documents to gain power of attorney, and later fabricated fictitious financial records to hide what he was doing.
