Eight Rutgers football players are reportedly facing charges for a credit card scam, according to NJ.com.
After a four-month investigation, the eight players were arrested Wednesday in connection to the scam, per NJ.com.
On April 22, former Rutgers linebacker Brendan DeVara reportedly obtained credit card numbers on the dark web to put money on his university credit card. DeVara, who reportedly started the scam to pay off outstanding parking tickets, stole $2,400 over the next 11 days, reports NJ.com.
DeVara then recruited seven of his teammates to organize a credit card scheme, and they allegedly stole $11,450 last spring.
