Darren McFadden May Have Lost Out On $237M Bitcoin Investment

Darren McFadden May Have Lost Out On $237M Bitcoin Investment

When retired NFL running back Darren McFadden filed a lawsuit against his business manager in 2016, alleging that he mismanaged his money throughout his professional career, one bitcoin was worth $790.

Today’s price? Around $15,000.

McFadden had no idea how much he would be worth had his money actually been invested properly.

From Sports Illustrated. Story by Scooby Axson.

McFadden says he lost $3 million in a Bitcoin business venture and that most of the fraud was committed by a man named Michael Vick. Vick, an Arkansas native, is not the NFL player most associated with that name.

Had Vick invested in Bitcoin for McFadden, it could be worth $237 million, according to Chase Carlson, an investment fraud attorney.

McFadden fired Vick as his business manager last year and had given Vick power of attorney in 2008, just months after he was drafted with the fourth overall pick by the Oakland Raiders.

McFadden says those power of attorney documents were fraudulent.

McFadden’s first NFL contract was a six-year deal with a value of $60 million.”
