Yup total disgrace to those who have lost people to cancer and had the hospital bills impact their lives severely.
Kerr Kriisa arrested by FBI
- Thread starter BBN9
- Start date
Of course espn's story says ex Kentucky player in the first sentence and then later on mentions his other schools.
Flag at the top always waves hardest in the wind.
He sounds like a sociopath but that's just my uneducated opinion from the allegations. If you create a made-up world in which you're lying and hurting others, getting rich doing so, and you're trying to gain sympathy and more rewards for yourself by lying about your own mother and telling someone she has a serious illness, that's beyond anything I thought of when I heard about the arrest. There's a lack of empathy there that unfortunately some in life just have or develop.
Yup pretty awful stuff. Honestly sounds like something an addict would concoct. I’ve seen some ridiculous stuff in my day to get money.
It's a crazy world. Some don't even have empathy for opinions that differ from there's on message forums and try to get them taken down like a brat.
Why in the world did the person getting scammed wait so long to report him? He should’ve never been at UK or anywhere else. Unless he believed the story that long?
It wasn’t just one person, there are multiple victims named in the indictment.
As for why he wasn’t reported sooner, who knows? People can be amazingly gullible when dealing with a smooth talking scam artist …even really rich ones. Especially when the scam artist comes with an aura of credibility as a somewhat famous athlete.
He invented at least one fake persona to help keep the scam going. The allegations in the indictment probably are not all of it, and there's going to be more if he does a plea agreement. He's going to have to spill all of it.
You are totally wrong. When they come after people a lot of times there case is not as air tight as most people think. They accept pleas all the time with the writing saying the defendant saying it is not a plea of guilt and the government specifying that there is no admission of guilt. The defendant will agree to a payment but it ends up being way less than a drawn out trial would cost.
Tons of people who truly believe they are innocent take these pleas to save time, money, stress and worry. Even if innocent, instead of fighting for hundreds of thousands of dollars and risking a jury conviction, it’s easier to agree to pay a lesser amount and keep your record clean. The feds agree to this when their case is not very good.
What an absolute idiot. Seriously, how stupid is this retard?
He won't be able to get away from Bubba on one good foot.
Stupid stereotypical comment. Not a lot of “Bubbas” in minimum Federal Prisons.
He’ll pay the money back & get DEPORTED.
You don’t know what you are talking about. The Feds only indict cases they want to indict. Unlike state and local prosecutions that need to take any case where there is an arrest. Most federal criminal prosecutions originate with an indictment. AUSAs can reject any case they don’t like. So, they indict good cases, not the crap you suggest.
Explain your interactions any United States Attorney’s Office. I am interested in why you are so wrong.
He sounds like my first public defender before I understood anything.
To be fair, for four years he probably looked around and thought it was standard practice here.
Jane you ignorant slut. That article does not support your claim.
This is the stupid claim you made. Not that cases plea, but that people who plea don’t go to jail and don’t admit guilt. You are a fool.
“According to United States Sentencing Commission data, over 75% of convicted federal defendants receive a term of incarceration. With more than 90% of federal cases concluding in guilty pleas and overall conviction rates exceeding 95%, the remaining sentences consist of probation, fines, or time served.” Google AI
Federal defendants take plea deals because 1. their resources to fight may be not be close to what it will take to defend a complex case through the trial phase, and 2. they are looking at dozens of years or longer without the possibility of parole, and a deal gets offered because they are a small fish and the case doesn't really have legs. It costs a small fortune to defend white collar criminal cases through trial.
In Miami or Ft Lauderdale, Kriisa may not have even been charged, because there are just too many other big fish out there to prosecute. In West Virginia, a case in the 2M range gets attention.

Most definitely and feds usually come around when it's dealing with Uncle Sam's money. They don't play about that almighty dollar
People plea because sentencing is tough, they get credit for cooperation, and the government’s case is good. People go to trial because they have a prior record and will get nailed with a lot of time on a plea, forcing them to roll the dice with a trial.
In a case like this one, there wouldn't be a No Contest or an Alford plea scenario. The AUSA actually has to get special approval from their management to allow those agreements, and considering the facts alleged here, is just not going to happen.
The only deal Kriisa could potentially get would be in exchange for a guilty plea, stipulation to the full set of facts detailing the fraud, full cooperation in identifying any other potential victims, and restitution to the fullest extent that he is able. If Kriisa wants to fight, the DOJ can just tee it up for trial and let the process do the work for them.
