Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller and Chicago Bears quarterback Nick Foles were among the current and former NFL players whose investment money was used to fund controversial high-interest loans targeting low-income people in Texas prior to an October bankruptcy case.
ESPN's Mike Fish reported Friday the players worked with financial investor Joseph "Joey" Feste, who created the Storehouse Lending LLC to fund the loans for partner company KJC Auto Title Loan, which court documents showed indirectly received at least $6 million from NFL players via Feste.
Other players linked to Feste's dealings were Mark Brunell, Derrick Brooks, Jamaal Charles, Matt Flynn, Shane Vereen, Marques Tuiasosopo, Justin Forsett, Sean Weatherspoon, Renaldo Wynn and Damian Williams.
