Now I kinda want to research this. I literally don’t know any other USFL owner, but my gut tells me there are a few felonies mixed into the group. Originally Posted by X-band '01

Now I have actually done a litte research (read: looked at the old Wikipedia page for the USFL). Apparently the owner of the LA Express hadn't been properly vetted financially and had nowhere near the money needed to properly run a professional sports franchise. It was somewhat similar to John Spano; he briefly owned the New York Islanders before he was eventually indicted for wire fraud and other financial crimes. I don't think the Express owner was ever indicted, though.
But if you have the chance STL, watch the 30 for 30 documentaries on both the USFL (Small Potatoes) and John Spano (Big Shot) if you haven't already done so.

Lock him up?

It really isn’t. He has and deserves a presumption of innocence. He is rich, so he has access to a top notch legal team, so he will have every advantage of proving his innocence. He is in a way better place than most criminal defendants. Originally Posted by Strange Brew

Innocent until proven guilty. It will be interesting to see what crimes the indictment actually actually alleges. It could be a slam dunk, or it could be a big stretch by the DA. Based on reporting so far, I’m leaning towards the latter.
