Looks like Will Allen’s crimes could get him put away for most of the rest of his days. The former baller got caught running a Ponzi scheme and now decades years in the slammer. Via Bleacher Report:
Former NFL cornerback Will Allen is facing decades in prison after being indicted on 23 felony counts stemming from an alleged Ponzi scheme run by the 36-year-old and a co-conspirator.
Allen faces “12 counts of wire fraud, six counts of aggravated identity theft, one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and four counts of illegal monetary transactions,” according to records obtained by Jeff Ostrowski of the Palm Beach Post. Each charge of wire fraud could result in a 20-year prison sentence, according to Ostrowski, with shorter sentences for the other felonies.
Prosecutors allege Allen and Susan Daub were the heads of a business, Capital Financial Partners, that offered short-term loans to professional athletes but ultimately defrauded investors of nearly $14 million. Of the $31.7 million obtained from investors, only $18 million went to the loans.
“The defendants sold investors on the idea of lending money to pro athletes, but we allege that’s not where a large portion of the investors’ money went,” Paul G. Levenson, director of the SEC’s Boston office, said in a statement (via Ostrowski). “As in any Ponzi scheme, the appearance of a successful investment was only an illusion sustained by lies.”

Tavon White was sentenced to Baltimore City Detention Center with a litany of charges for leading the Blak Guerilla Family crime ring. However, with the help of his trusty prison guard harem, White was able to run an illegal operation and live it up in the pen like he was on the outside. He even got to father five (additional?) children. Via Rolling Out:
Black Guerrilla Family leader Tavon White was able to run an illegal operation while serving time in the Baltimore City Detention Center. White and his crew sold drugs, weapons and other contraband while in the jail. According to the Baltimore Sun, one BGF inmate took a photo holding Grey Goose vodka, shrimp, and champagne while in the cell.
Prosecutors claimed White and his gang made up to $16,000 per month as a $10 bag of marijuana would cost $50 in jail.
But their operation was aided by several guards who allowed the contraband to enter the jail. Four of those guards were females who had sexual relationships with White. He impregnated four officers with five kids.
So who are these women that helped him out and had his children, and why did they do it?
Tiffany Linder: A Washington, D.C. native, Tiffany Linder, 27, was eight months pregnant with White’s child when she had to stand trial. She was accused of tipping off White to a shakedown in the jail. White claimed Linder knew because she was sleeping with another corrections officer at the jail.
Chania Brooks: Chanie Brooks’ take home pay was roughly $38,486. However, she found that having sex with White could lead to her earning more money. Brooks, 27, was another officer who got a chance to drive a Benz supplied by White. But Brooks brought attention to her liaisons with White after arguing with Linder, who was also pregnant with White’s child at the same time. Brooks also filed assault charges against another one of White’s baby mothers, Katera Stevenson.
Katera Stevenson: Katera Stevenson, 26, worked at the Baltimore City Detention Center since 2008. She fell in love with White after he would give her money and allow her to drive a Mercedes-Benz. She was impregnated by White when she was 24 and helped him bring contraband inside. However, she made the mistake of leaving contraband outside and it froze during a snowy day in Baltimore. Stevenson pleaded guilty to racketeering.
Jennifer Owens: A resident of Radallstown, Maryland, Jennifer Owens, 32, loved White so much she decided to get his name tattooed on her neck. She also gave birth to two of his kids. She pleaded guilty to racketeering.
White eventually received a reduced sentence of 12 years in prison after testifying against other members of BGF.
Wow. This guy must have had game on game on game to convince not one, but FOUR prison guards to risk their freedom and their health (condom-free prison sex????) for him to keep living high. SMH.
We already knew police in Alabama have some seriously racist tendencies. Now, an Alabama woman has filed a federal suit against five police officers who restrained and repeatedly tasered her teenage daughter while she was having a medical emergency during a Kevin Gates concert earlier this year — right before violently slapping cuffs on her for trying to help her ailing child. Via RawStory:
An Alabama woman claims police repeatedly shocked her and her teenage daughter with Tasers as the girl suffered from a seizure during a hip hop concert.
The woman, whose name was not released, filed a federal lawsuit last week against five police officers and the police chief from Rainbow City and three others from Gadsden, as well as the Center Stage venue where the concert was held, reported AL.com.
The lawsuit claims the teenager suffered a grand mal seizure earlier that day at her high school – where she was treated but not hospitalized.
She later went to the concert, where the suit claims a performer caused a “stampede” after going into the crowd – triggering another seizure after concertgoers “trampled” the girl.
The teen’s sister told a Center Stage employee that the girl was having a seizure, and the worker carried her to the lobby and dumped her on the ground, where she was then placed in a chokehold.
The sister called their mother, who arrived a short time later in a T-shirt and pajama pants, and police quickly pinned her to the ground and fired a Taser at the woman, causing her to urinate.
Officers then used a Taser three times against the teenager as she lay face-down with her arms pinned behind her, causing the girl to lose consciousness.
She was taken to a nearby hospital, where her mother was arrested for disorderly conduct, and the suit claims police mocked the girl and threatened to take her to a mental hospital.
SMH! Apparently the suit seeks damages for pain, emotional distress, medical bills, punitive damages and attorney’s fees. Hopefully she gets all that and more.
All those skipped payments have come back to haunt DMX. After getting snatched up by police outside of one of his NY performances earlier this year, the judge has finally decided that he’ll need to cool his heels in the clink for the rest of 2015. Via TMZ:
You can only fight the law for so long — DMX got thrown behind bars today, and if he’s lucky … he’ll be out for the holidays.
The rapper was jailed in Buffalo, NY on Tuesday for failing to comply with a family court ruling. DMX has a history of issues with child support with one of his baby mamas who lives in the area, and it finally caught up with him.
He was slapped with a 6 month sentence, and immediately locked up in Erie County Holding Center.
It’s kind of a numbers game — DMX has been repeatedly arrested for all sorts of violations, but hasn’t done hard time since 2011 … when he did a 7 month bit in AZ.
Damn, man. Poor Earl can’t seem to stay free for more than a few minutes…

A Florida church sent a delinquency notice to a new member reminding her that worshipers were expected to pay $1,000 in required fees or face possible removal.
Candace Petterson said she started attending the Greater Mount Moriah Primitive Baptist Church about six months ago after moving to a new home in the Tampa area, but she received a troubling letter last week from the church, reported WFTS-TV.
The single mother said she received what amounted to a delinquency notice from her new church asking her to contribute $50 a month, along with other assorted fees, to remain a member in good standing and vote on church matters.
The predominantly black church, which has operated for more than a century, asked her to pay a yearly $250 anniversary fee and another $150 for Mount Moriah Day – amounting to $1,000, some of which would be set aside to pay off church debt.
“What church charges you to help pay off what they’re going through?” Petterson said. “I’m not there for that.”
HELL F*** NAW, SHAWTY!
The letter, from assistant administrator Ladreda Spencer and Pastor B.R. Fulton Jr., also reminded Petterson that children – including her 11-year-old daughter – were expected to pay $5 a month to the church in addition to two annual $15 fees.
The letter notified Petterson, who said she had been unaware of the required contributions, that members fell into delinquency if they failed to make payments for three months or more, reported the Christian Post.
“In order to not be removed from the church roll, your attention to this matter [is] greatly appreciated,” the letter warned, but offered to grant her a 90-day “hardship” exemption.
“Hardship exemption”? Man, listen…
Petterson posted a copy of the letter on the church’s Facebook page, where one church member in “good standing” scolded the younger woman for publicizing her complaint.
“I love my church and my pastor,” said member Bonnie Maxwell. “I know people have their opinions regarding the letter that was sent out to this young lady and put over social media. I don’t understand why so much negativity about paying a monthly assessment of $50 a month, that you already knew about. If you go to a club or a bar whatever you wish to call it every weekend, you are paying about $10 or maybe more to get in the door and then paying again for drinks.”
“As Christians we are required to be obedient,” Maxwell added.
This bih done drank ALL the covenant kool-aid. SMH.

We got really choked up posting this… The ESPY’s are in L.A. tonight and one very special person won’t be able to attend. Stuart Scott. Our thoughts and prayers are with his daughters Taelor and Sydni on what we are sure must be a very difficult day for them. The girls have been in Los Angeles this week doing interviews and promoting raising money to fight cancer. We love this photo they tweeted out in front of their father’s mural:
What a beautiful shot. The ladies have been tweeting out information about how to donate to the Jimmy V Foundation which is accepting donations to benefit the Stuart Scott Memorial Cancer fund.
We lost a real one with Stuart Scott. So glad we have Taelor and Sydni to carry on his legacy.
This…is…crazy…
Before a Mississippi cop strangled unarmed Jonathan Sanders for 20 minutes until he died, he allegedly yelled “I’m gonna get that n****r.”
SMFH….
When Jonathan Sanders, an unarmed black man, died last week in Mississippi while in police custody, it was a racially motivated killing, attorneys representing the victim’s family claimed Tuesday.
Sanders, 39, a resident of Stonewall, Mississippi, died last Wednesday after allegedly being placed in a chokehold by Officer Kevin Herrington, attorneys C.J. Lawrence and Chokwe Lumumba told The Huffington Post on Tuesday.
Sanders, who trained horses and was often seen riding around in a horse-drawn buggy, was at a gas station with one of his animals at about 10 p.m. Wednesday when he saw an altercation between Herrington and another white man, whom Sanders knew.
According to Lawrence, Sanders approached them and asked Herrington to leave the other man alone.
A witness told the attorneys that after Sanders left, Herrington allegedly said, “I’m gonna get that n****r.”
Lawrence said multiple eyewitnesses have told the attorneys that Herrington then got in his car with an unidentified civilian female and drove after Sanders, who was on his buggy.
Three eyewitnesses who are related to Sanders by marriage, and who say they saw the altercation from their home, said the officer turned on his police lights when he was just behind Sanders.
The lights startled the horse, which took off at a sprint, throwing Sanders off his buggy.
“Jonathan immediately began to run after his horse, unaware of what was going on behind him,” Lawrence said. “Herrington proceeded to chase Jonathan.”
Herrington allegedly grabbed a headlight tied around Sanders’ head, pulling it down to his neck and yanking him to the ground. Sanders’ body was slumped down in a “praying position” as Herrington allegedly wrapped his arms around the man’s neck, placing him a chokehold, Lawrence said.
The three witnesses in the home told the attorneys the officer would not release his grip. At the time, the witnesses said, they were not aware that the man in the officer’s grip was Sanders, their relative.
One of the witnesses, who works as a correctional officer in Stonewall, came out to confront Herrington, allegedly asking the officer to let Sanders go.
Herrington told the correctional officer that Sanders had reached for his gun, according to the attorneys.
The correctional officer repeatedly asked Herrington to let Sanders go so that the correctional officer could perform CPR on him, but Herrington allegedly declined, according to testimony.
Lawrence and Lumumba said that although it only took three minutes for Staten Island man Eric Garner to die in a chokehold in a widely publicized case last summer, Sanders was allegedly placed in a chokehold for more than 20 minutes before EMTs arrived.
Wow!!!
Can you believe this story???
Ronda Rousey threw some pretty direct shots at Pretty Boy Floyd and his domestic drama
Via TMZ:
Ronda Rousey is afraid of NO ONE — not even Floyd Mayweather … ripping the fighter over his domestic violence history on LIVE TV.
Rousey had just been given the “Best Fighter” award on the red carpet at the ESPYs — beating out fighters like Mayweather.
When asked how she felt about it, Ronda replied — “I wonder how Floyd feels being beaten by a woman for once.”
Boom.
WELP. How do you feel about what she had to say?

Chris Brown’s home invasion drama just may have an effect on his pending paternity case against baby mama Nia Guzman. Looks like Nia is using the incident as leverage — claiming that Breezy’s gang-affiliated crew is likely at the center of the crime, and their daughter Royalty isn’t safe at his LA mansion as long as he’s mixed up with his same crew.
Via TMZ:
Chris Brown could lose more than property after the home invasion … it could cost him some daddy time, because his baby mama is worried Royalty’s in danger when she’s with Chris and his homies.
Sources close to Nia Guzman tell TMZ … she thinks many of Chris’ friends are gang members or gang-affiliated, and the robbery shows they’ve now turned on Chris. We’re told she’s not cool with Royalty being around that element.
As we first reported … Chris’ mother also thinks last night’s hit was an inside job.
It’s bad timing for Chris. He just filed docs asking a judge to hammer out a formal custody agreement — partly because he says Nia’s been denying him visits with Royalty.
If the court sees things Nia’s way it could affect custody.
Mind you, this isn’t the first time that someone just strolled into Breezy’s house this year. Hmmmm….what do you think? Does Nia have a point?
Stars from the sports and entertainment worlds descended on LA this evening for ESPN’s ESPY award ceremony. As usual, many of the stars looked great, while others chose more…interesting looks for the night’s occasion. So who looked more bangin’???

It’s no secret that Birdman is no fan of Lil Wayne these days, and Young Thug hasn’t exactly become besties with his “idol.” But did the two actually conspire to have Wayne snuffed out back when they were still “lovers?”
If you’ll recall, Young Thug is already behind bars after getting apprehended earlier today for threatening a mall cop:
Now, a new indictment filed late Wednesday evening names Young Thug, as well as his “lover” Birdman, as co-conspirators in the tour bus shooting that nearly harmed Wayne and his crew after leaving an Atlanta nightclub a few months back. WSBTV’s Mike Petchenik revealed the details:
SMH. The bus was ALLEGEDLY shot up by one of Young Thug’s associates. Hit the flip for more…

Even though she used to identify as a white girl, Zoe Kravitz has quickly had to learn Hollywood’s racist ropes. In her most recent magazine interview, the starlet reveals that she was even shut out of auditioning for The Dark Knight movie franchise — specifically because they weren’t in the market for “urban” actors. Via USWeekly:
Where’s Batman when you need him to save the day? Zoe Kravitz said in a new interview with Nylon magazine that she was unjustly shut out of an audition for The Dark Knight Rises because of her ethnicity.
“In the last Batman movie, they told me that I couldn’t get an audition for a small role they were casting because they weren’t ‘going urban,'” Kravitz, 26, said in the August issue’s cover story. “It was like, ‘What does that have to do with anything?’ I have to play the role like, ‘Yo, what’s up, Batman? What’s going on wit chu?'”
The daughter of rocker Lenny Kravitz and actress Lisa Bonet — both of whom are biracial — the star has been careful about the roles she chooses as she grows her film career. Kravitz’s credits now include parts in the critically acclaimed Dope, Divergent, and Mad Max: Fury Road, and she is weary about getting typecast anytime soon.
“I don’t want to play everyone’s best friend,” she told Nylon. “I don’t want to play the role of a girl struggling in the ghetto. It’s not that that story isn’t important, but I saw patterns and was like, ‘I don’t relate to these people.'”
Looks like she’s well on her way to breaking out of those molds, right?

Janelli Caceres-Pickens with her two daughters at Chinx Drugz album listening party
Chinx Drugz’s widow made her surprise debut as a video girl in his new posthumously released music video, “On Your Body.”
In the video, Janelli Caceres-Pickens is in Miami, getting dolled up for a night on the town with Chinx. She rides in a white Bentley through South Beach to meet him–only to be surprised by her three kids in an upscale restaurant. The video used lots of over the shoulder shots that showed off her tattoo of Chinx’s face and “Mrs. Pickens” at the nape of her neck.
Chinx’s manager, Doug Ellison, unveiled the new video at his album listening party July 15 at Stage 48 in Manhattan, in front of guests like Maino, Sugar J, Welven the Great, Vado and French Montana’s brother Coke Boy Zack. The event showcased the rapper’s debut album, “Welcome to JFK,” which will be released Aug. 14.
Ellison said they drove to Miami to shoot the video, which was shot in less than a week.
“We’re here to pay homage to our brother,” he said. “It’s super surreal that I’m actually here and celebrating something he worked so hard for without him actually being here.”

Caceres-Pickens seemed to enjoy her time in the limelight, dancing on stage with her five-year-old son Lionel “Nugget” Pickens Jr. and rapping along to her late husband’s lyrics. But her emotions got the better of her when DJ Amazin played Chinx’s song “Die Young.” The visibly upset widow put her sunglasses on and looked down at the floor. The couple’s two other daughters were also on hand for the listening party.
There was no sign of Chinx’s heavily pregnant ex-girlfriend Patricija Muratovic, who is due to give birth to their child, Liam, any day.
Chinx was murdered in a drive-by shooting two months ago after coming from a performance in a Brooklyn club. His killer has not yet been arrested.
