And how in hell is he ever going to even come close to paying that back?
Gimme a break....

Maybe something like "Oh, we'll drop your restitution, you just have to rat out who you were working for and tell us They led you to do it and told you it was perfectly legal"
I wouldn't count it out given that a big FBI insider trading bust happened a few days ago.
My high-school sweetheart (was soon to be) told me a version of this back in the day. She had her calculator upside down to me on the table and said "there is this 1 girl. She is 16. She did the 69 three times. What is she? 35007. Read upside down in calculator font was her way of asking me out 🤣
Squeeze him hard, ask about all the child trafficking these Shit for Brains, steroided out waste of time pukes are involved in as well MORE IMPORTANTLY!!.....16yr not enough time
I agree with you. But if he has a mansion (chances are he doesn't, or wasn't too popular. I have never heard of him-but what do I know) he could sell the mansion and pay some of it back😎.
The point of doing that is to prevent a famous criminal from profiting off their crime by writing a book or something.
NFL = National Felons League
I have a better one but I just got off my 1 day ban thanks to a HotPickle....
Inquiring minds want to know- let’s play hangman! LOL _ _ _
F A _ _ O _ ?
😂😂😂😂
That's not how you spell the N word
Welcome back! I have enjoyed your contributions while I watch these movies play out.
These "professionals" are over-paid enough millions to be set for life! I can't even imagine how a person could go through that many millions! and to then seek more by bilking the taxpayers? WHERE DO ALL THEIR MILLIONS GO?!?
Let's just say they aren't the sharpest knives on the tree.
You'd be surprised how many retired athletes who made millions playing a kids game are now pretty much broke...
They aren’t the sharpest marshmallows on the Christmas tree.
True that
Gone to frivolity, every one...
He was not a former NFL player.
Pro Football Reference has no one by that name who played in even a single NFL game.

Seattle Seahawks and Green Bay Packers.
Joel Rufus French, a former tight end, was a member of the Seattle Seahawks (signed as an undrafted free agent in 1999, remained through 2000) and the Green Bay Packers (2002). Although he was on their rosters and in training camps, he did not appear in a regular-season NFL game due to injuries.Key Details:NFL Career: Signed with the Seahawks (1999–2000) and Packers (2002).College: Standout All-American tight end at Ole Miss (1996–1998).Recent News: In May 2026, he was sentenced to 16 years in prison for a $200 million Medicare and VA fraud scheme.
If you didn't play in a game that counted, you're not an NFL player.
You may as well say that Brock Lesnar was an NFL player, even though he got cut before the season.
Bill Goldberg was more of an NFL player than Joel Rufus French.
Similar deal for Manon Rheaume, the "first female NHL player." She was signed as a publicity stunt for the expansion Tampa Bay Lightning and only played in the preseason, getting cut before playing any games that counted because she gave up about six goals a game.
Well, I only know what the Justice Department called him. But you certainly have a point. Thanks.
Where is the money? Give us the money back, I dont want them to jail him just tell them he will be in the wall if they don’t give the money back. Hang this monster so make example of him.
Is he white? I thought this was a slap on the wrist for Somalians.
I don’t want to hear one Democrat tell Trump or the American people that Medicare and/or Medicaid will run out of money when it’s them causing fraud and corruption with it. The DNC and their Somali cohorts need to reimburse the health industry trillions for what they stole.
Ironically he was a tight end in football.
We'll see how long that lasts.....
Do they still make soap-on-a-rope?
