Guardian of KU freshman Silvio De Sousa: 'We did not take any money' | The Wichita Eagle

The guardian of Kansas freshman Silvio De Sousa denied receiving payments that were referenced in new court documents filed Tuesday in the ongoing FBI investigation into college basketball bribery.

"He did not take any money. We did not take any money," Fenny Falmagne told The Star by phone Tuesday night after sending a statement by text message.

"The kids and I never took money from anyone. This is bigger than basketball. These kids and I have sacrificed so much because we know this could change our countries and nation. Anyone that knows me will know that coach Larry Brown is the only person that I take advice from because who he means to me and the kids.
