A Louisiana man who pleaded guilty to embezzling more than $500,000 from a hospital foundation and giving some of the stolen money to the parents of two former LSU football players was sentenced to federal prison Thursday.
quote:
Among other allegations, federal prosecutors said Funes caused and/or approved dozens of payments to "individuals who did little or no work for the foundation but to whom the defendant wanted to provide financial assistance," according to a bill of information in the federal criminal case.
Prosecutors alleged Funes approved payments of approximately $180,000 to an individual identified as "Individual C" in the bill of information.
Sources told ESPN that "Individual C" is the father of former LSU offensive lineman Vadal Alexander, who was a four-year starter for the Tigers from 2012 to 2015. His father, James Alexander, is a self-employed entrepreneur in Atlanta.
quote:
The bill of information didn't specify when the payments to James Alexander were allegedly made. The Baton Rouge Business Report reported in June that Funes sent the money to James Alexander when his son was still playing for the Tigers, which might be a violation of NCAA rules regarding impermissible benefits.

You know, I’d say to at least look through the first page, but seeing as it’s hard for you to read I can see why it would be hard for you to see this was already posted. And has no bearing on current LSU athletics.

Who is we? LSU fans? Yeah, I guess you would. This thread is for the rest of the SEC, who now knows LSU is just as or more crooked than any other school in the league.
I didn’t see another thread, so I suppose there may need to be two.
ETA: It appears the previous thread was purposed to learn more about this individual. Lucky for you guys, I’m here to provide a more descriptive thread title for those who have no interest in clicking on a thread about a guy they’ve never heard of.
You’re welcome.

That's cute and funny but it can't change what is going to happen to your team Saturday. It's been nice reading your daily posts this week and I'm sorry you are about to disappear. Maybe you can do the same next year.

Is this considered a “Double Post” or should I file it as “No Longer Needed”?

SO I assume LSU was forced to forfeit a lot of games by having an ineligible player

I feel like as an Auburn fan that number should mean something to me but I can't remember why.

Well, you’d certainly think so. However, luckily for them, there were no division championships to be vacated.

Gumps didn’t make your booster funnel hundreds of thousands of dollars from a charity to LSU players/families.
Gumps don’t run around here screaming “MUH CHEATERS!” either.
Hope this helps.
