Camario A. Richardson’s pet lived large thanks to its owner’s scam that took in five NFL players, including a member of the 2016 Kansas City Chiefs, according to prosecutors.
Richardson had pledged to deliver Nike book bags or shoes to charity events featuring players from five different teams in the National Football League. The players, none of whom has been publicly identified, paid for the equipment upfront — $24,780 worth.
Instead of buying the book bags and shoes for the back-to-school events, Richardson spent the money on himself “almost as fast as he obtained it,” said a sentencing recommendation from prosecutors.
