[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 679738, member: 2426"] I seriously doubt that Avenatti is going to cause any serious problems for anyone. He seems a lot like R** B**l to me in that he publishes information to the public intending to affect his legal issues. I don't have any more belief in his posts and statements than B**l's However, I still don't buy the federal prosecutors' stance in the entire NCAA basketball "scandal". There was an opinion piece in the Washington Post in August when Gatto filed his appeal that did a better job of stating what I had been trying to say: [URL]https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/08/19/federal-prosecutors-shouldnt-be-helping-ncaa-enforce-its-rules/[/URL] Also, it is telling to me that the prosecutors didn't believe that Augustine committed fraud because he pocketed the money that shoe companies intended for him to give to athletes: [URL]https://www.si.com/college/2019/05/09/ncaa-trial-fbi-bribery-corruption-mark-emmert[/URL] So the person that actually defrauded someone by pretending to transfer money for one party to another, but kept it to himself isn't guilty of fraud(Isn't that embezzlement by definition?) but someone who freely gives money to one party at the request of another party is guilty of fraud? In his first press conference on the matter, prosecutor Kim stated that they would bring the "underbelly" of NCAA basketball into the open. At trial, they kept as much information as possible out of the public eye. As far as I know the haven't released any information to the NCAA except for information that they couldn't keep hidden during the trials. If the real intent of Kim and the FBI was to protect innocent student athletes from being taken advantage of by monsters, I don't think they have come near to accomplishing that. [/QUOTE]
