I wonder what would see if Brett Favre’s emails and texts were leaked?
Because we were in a different climate, Favre was able to get away with a slap on the wrist for sending a Jets female employee a picture of his “Little Favre.”
Since his retirement, Favre has been unashamed to let people know he is MAGA and supported Donald Trump. He has made several controversial comments, but this is by far the worse thing he has done, and he hasn’t done anything to rectify the situation.
The former Green Bay Packers quarterback was one of several recipients of letters from the Mississippi auditor’s office demanding repayment of misspent funds received from the federal government’s Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, according to Mississippi Today’s Anna Wolfe.
Favre had reportedly received $1.1 million of those funds for appearances he didn’t make.
Favre immediately paid back $500,000 and agreed to give the rest back in installments, but Mississippi said it was still waiting for that $600,000 a year later. Now, it has reportedly threatened Favre with a civil lawsuit if he doesn’t pay $828,000, which represents the money owed plus some hefty interest on payments made in 2017 and 2018.
The Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase and his son were caught up in this scam as well.
This embezzlement scheme was insane.
Per Mississippi Today, former WWE wrestler Ted DiBiase Jr. must return $3.9 million in funds he allegedly received for serving as a motivational speaker for Families First. His father and fellow ex-WWE wrestler Ted DiBiase Sr. must reportedly pay $722,299 in funds sent to his Christian ministry to help underprivileged teens. Former Oklahoma football star Marcus Dupree is facing a $789,534 demand for his Marcus Dupree Foundation.
If you have ever been to Mississippi, you know that this money was needed for the state’s poor people. It is sickening that the rich once again is taking for the poor.
Then you wonder why poor people can never dig out of the hole that our country is forever putting them in. Favre has the money, he has made millions in the NFL, and as an endorser, he just doesn’t want to pay it back because that is what MAGA MEN do.
