Two-time Pro Bowl running back Clinton Portis and two other former NFL players have pleaded guilty for their roles in a nationwide health care benefit fraud scheme to submit false claims for payouts totaling about $3 million, the Justice Department said

Portis, Tamarick Vanover and Robert McCune admitted to participating in a scheme to scam the league's retiree health care benefits plan, which provides tax-free reimbursement to former players and their families for out-of-pocket medical expenses that are not covered by insurance, the department said. Prosecutors said McCune, who played eight games in four NFL seasons, was the mastermind."McCune orchestrated the nationwide fraud, which resulted in approximately $2.

Tamarick Vanover was a wide receiver and kick returner for the Kansas City Chiefs in the 1990s.They each face a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.According to the Justice Department news release, Portis and Vanover pleaded guilty two days after a trial against them resulted in a hung jury and a mistrial on certain counts against Vanover. A retrial on the charges against Portis and Vanover had been scheduled to begin Tuesday.

So all that money they make as pro football players wasn't enough for them, they needed fraudulent means to make more? Greed is still a thing hah? I guess they didn't get the memo, in 2021 we are looking to strengthen hearts & minds not wallets.
