Former NFL cornerback Will Allen finds himself in some hot water after he was indicted on 23 felony charges, including 12 counts of wire fraud and six counts aggravated identity theft.
Allen, 36, faces up to 20 years in prison for each of the 12 counts of wire fraud. If convicted, he’s looking at shorter terms on the other 11 charges.
The indictments—handed down by the U.S. Attorney in Massachusetts last week—don’t include federal charges stemming from Allen’s alleged involvement in a Ponzi scheme. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) indicated last month that Allen defrauded investors, mostly professional athletes, of millions.
