A federal grand jury indicted Leon Smith on felony charges of identity theft, money laundering and defrauding clients of almost $1.3 million, Yahoo Sports' Pat Forde reported Monday.
Smith worked on the staff of the Kentucky Wildcats men's basketball team in various roles from 1997 to 1999 and then again from 2001 to 2009.
Smith also owned Legacy Pro Management Group and Legacy Athlete Management, through which he allegedly committed the fraud. According to Forde, two of his alleged victims were former Kentucky players, Josh Harrellson and Darius Miller. Utah Jazz guard Shelvin Mack is another player allegedly defrauded by Smith.
