Minnesota Vikings linebacker Dallas Turner was allegedly scammed out of $240,000 in a bank fraud scheme, according to the Star Tribune and ESPN.

A police spokesperson told ESPN that charges are in the works for several substances and that around $2,500 of the stolen funds have been recovered:

“Through our investigation, several suspects have been identified, and we are working toward criminal charges to hold them accountable,” Eagan (Minnesota) Police Sgt. Rich Evans said in a statement to ESPN. Approximately $2,500 of the stolen funds have been returned, Evans said, adding that the investigation remains active.

The details of the alleged scheme were laid out in a search warrant affidavit filed in Dakota County District this week, as part of the police’s effort to seize financial records from the JPMorgan Chase branch in Eagan, Minn., the city where the Vikings’ practice facility is located.

Basically, someone called Turner pretending to be a JP Morgan Chase employee and got him to wire the money to two other supposed business accounts. From the Star Tribune:

Turner and his attorney contacted police in April to report that Turner received a call on Feb. 19 “from an individual impersonating a JP Morgan Chase banker. The caller claimed someone was attempting to impersonate [Turner] at a Chase Bank branch in Arizona and presented two copies of ID to execute a wire transfer.”

The caller directed Turner to immediately transfer his money to two separate business accounts in an effort to thwart the theft attempt.

That afternoon, Turner went to a Chase branch in Eagan and transferred $120,000 to “Island Food Truck LLC.” Before day was over, he visited a Chase Bank branch in West St. Paul and transferred another $120,000 to “CNL FL LLC.”

Turner was the Vikings’ first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, going 17th overall out of Alabama. Per OverTheCap, the Fort Lauderdale native is guaranteed $15.8 million on his rookie contract with an $8.3 million signing bonus received last year.

The 22-year-old saw sporadic action in his rookie season, appearing in 16 games and starting none while accruing 17 total tackles and three sacks. Pro Football Focus graded him out as No. 90 on a list of 211 edge defenders for the season.

At Alabama, he was the 2023 SEC Co-Defensive Player of the Year, alongside Mississippi State’s Nathaniel Watson, after tying for the SEC lead in sacks with 10.

Will Sandy Alcantara be traded at the deadline? Why Marlins ace’s struggles could cause teams to shy away

One of the beautiful things about baseball is that there is no script. One of the frustrating things about baseball is … well, there is no script. Consider the case of Miami Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara. He entered the season regarded as the summer's probable top trade candidate, to the extent that Marlins general manager Peter Bendix had to dismiss speculation in March. Alcantara had, only a few days prior, made his first big-league appearance since undergoing Tommy John surgery in fall 2023. And yet, a midseason trade to a contender felt like a certainty, a fait accompli.Alcantara may still get traded ahead of the July 31 deadline, but if he does the circumstances will differ greatly from expectations. He'll take the mound today against the Cincinnati Reds sporting a 7.01 ERA (62 ERA+) and a 1.91 strikeout-to-walk ratio in […]

Here are some early patterns and a best XI from the last four days.Lack of draws leads to early eliminationsThe most striking aspect of the first 16 matches in this competition is the lack of draws. Only one match has finished level: a 1-1 finish between Portugal and Italy in Group B.There’s no particular reason why this has happened. Granted, there is a large difference in ability between the favourites and some of the outsiders in the competition, but there have been seven victories by a single goal, some of which could easily have been draws.

Duas vendas, joia colombiana acertada e dois possíveis reforços: veja como o Botafogo abre a janela de transferências

Última da temporada, a janela de transferências do futebol brasileiro começa nesta quinta-feira (10). E o Botafogo, como de costume, promete agitar o mercado com contratações e vendas. Tanto é que, antes mesmo do início do período, o alvinegro já concretizou três movimentações. Em relação às saídas, o zagueiro Jair e o centroavante Igor Jesus foram vendidos ao Nottingham Forest-ING por movimentações que totalizam os 32 milhões de euros (cerca de R$ 206 milhões). Por outro lado, o clube, que já tinha se antecipado em algumas movimentações na janela de transferências que antecedeu a Copa do Mundo de Clubes — um exemplo foi a contratação de Arthur Cabral, que é a reposição do camisa 99 e já esteve à disposição durante o torneio —, acertou na última quarta-feira a compra de Jordan Barrera, joia colombiana de 19 anos, por 4 […]

Premiação de semifinalista do Mundial de Clubes pode levar Fluminense a ‘clube do bilhão’

Único semifinalista não-europeu da Copa do Mundo de Clubes, o Fluminense voltará ao Brasil de cabeça erguida e bolso cheio. Além do tamanho do resultado esportivo, o tricolor garantiu uma premiação de cerca de R$ 331 milhões, com a campanha, que o faz subir de prateleira no cenário econômico do futebol nacional. Mercado: Wolverhampton, da Inglaterra, faz consulta por Arias, destaque do Fluminense no Mundial de Clubes Como exercício de comparação, em uma simulação somando as premiações obtidas no torneio pelos clubes brasileiros com as receitas dos últimos balanços divulgados (2024), o Fluminense chegaria à casa do bilhão (R$ 1,015 bilhão) em arrecadação, fazendo o clube subir para a quarta posição, superando o São Paulo e ficando atrás apenas de Palmeiras, Corinthians e Flamengo.
