St. Louis entrepreneur gets 15 months in prison for scamming Dallas Cowboys player out of $250K

ST. LOUIS — An entrepreneur who defrauded a Dallas Cowboys football player out of $250,000 was sentenced Thursday to 15 months in prison.

Abayomi Jamil “Yomi” Martin, of O'Fallon, Mo., must also repay $250,000 to cornerback Brandon Carr and $11,000 to credit card companies.

Martin approached Carr in 2016, falsely claiming to be part-owner of Famous Nobodys clothing company. He claimed that Carr's $250,000 investment would give him a 17.5% interest in the holding company that owned Famous Nobodys.
