Clinton Portis and Carlos Rogers named in this. Rogers i believe has already been arrested as of this morning and the article says Portis is expected to turn himself in at some point today.

It was a federal investigation, if convicted, the maximum sentence is 20 years in prison and over $250K in fines.

Welp I'd say his show on NBCWashington/RedskinsTV is over... One of my favorite Redskins ever....

I cant find the indictments...can someone post them if they are in the article?

Can't do that.

Supposedly he is being charged for getting reimbursed for a few thousand dollars in equipment he didn’t need medically. This is so stupid. Presumably Clinton Portis is a millionaire from his time playing in the NFL. Presumably, he makes pretty good money currently.

When you’re doing so well financially, why risk everything to essentially steal chump change?

presuming Portis is well off financially is a reach. Studies show close to 60% of pro athletes are broke a few years after they retire.

DOJ doesn’t go after cases for chump change, it has to be significant

Exactly and it really depends who is the mastermind or heading this shit because it could get really bad if Portis is the guy. I mean it could be serious time if he mastermind a multi million dollar fraud against the government.

It has been well documented that shortly after his retirement, he was essentially financially ruined by having his financial advisors basically clean him out. There was an article about that like two years ago. Today he lives in a small apartment in Ashburn, and he lives far from a lavish life.

Just one of the many articles about what happened to his money after football.

Portis' pockets ain't straight no more.

Re: Breaking: Clinton Portis, Carlos Rogers among 9 players charged with scheme to defraud NFL Healthcare program
 

So shocking, Portis was always very responsible and ethical with his money. :rolleyes:

Re: Breaking: Clinton Portis, Carlos Rogers among 9 players charged with scheme to defraud NFL Healthcare program
 

He's not the first athlete to go broke in retirement.

Def. not looking good for Portis on this one. I also see a couple ex-Redskins too like Carlos Rogers and Robert McCune.

If it's true what an absolutely poor choice by this group of guys.
