A former NFL linebacker who ran an $8 million Ponzi scheme by promising investors big returns on gold mines and other real estate deals should have his benefits from the league garnished, according to the feds. John Robert Leake of Marina Del Ray played for the Atlanta Falcons and briefly for the Green Bay Packers in 2005 and 2006, but by September 2024 had pleaded guilty to federal wire fraud and money laundering charges. Leake, now 44, was sentenced to 30 months in prison for the scheme, in which he convinced friends and others to invest with him in exotic sounding ventures such as the purported mines in Africa and Alaska.
