<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Marcus Douthit, a second-round draft pick of the Los Angeles Lakers out of Providence College, was charged on Thursday with taking part in a wide-ranging identity theft and embezzlement scam and pocketing several thousand dollars. The 125-count indictment unsealed by a statewide grand jury accuses Douthit with allegedly participating in a phony car accident as part of a scheme to obtain money from insurance companies, said Michael Healey, spokesman for the state attorney general office. Six others have been charged in the alleged scheme. He was paid $6,500 from money obtained from the false claim in December 2001, and deposited that money into a Providence bank account, the indictment states.</div> Ex-Friar charged with embezzlement, identity theft...
Douthit has been charged with one count of conspiracy to commit embezzlement and one count of embezzlement more than $100. He faces a maximum of 30 years in prison on the charges, Healey said. Damn lol Heres the link http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2004/bask...t.ap/index.html
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Ball Hog:</div><div class="quote_post">I doubt he would have made the team any way. What an idiot.</div> Actually the Lakers were reported to be negotiating a 2 year guaranteed contract with him. Ahh, such a shame, such a waste!
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Ball Hog:</div><div class="quote_post">I doubt he would have made the team any way. What an idiot.</div> ya that guy has no future in the NBA but hey I could be wrong. He could end up being a steal like Boozer , but I highly doubt that.
Interesting news. We don't need scrubs like him that don't know right from wrong. Too bad he had a guaranteed two year offer on the table. What a waste of a pick.
What a moron. How dumb can you seriously be? That's just dumb. I don't really know what to say except he's a moron.
what the hell is wrong with that guy. okay, maybe he didn't know he was going to be drafted into the nba, but still he could have been an mvp type player in the nbdl and still get paid 250,000 a year which isn't bad, geez just nothing to say about this guy i hope we dont sign him
hahahaha I can't help laughing my ass off when I read something like this.. of all the things to be indicted of- drug possession, speeding, sexual assault- all common athlete problems- this fool goes and gets indicted for embezzlement of more than $100... he would have made a lot more money playing ball.
