TL;DR

Authorities say Mohamed Coulibaly, alleged organizer of a million-dollar fake e-commerce scheme targeting former NFL players, was found dead in a Harrison Township pool as investigators carried out a welfare check. Barron’s traced the operation to bogus online stores that appeared profitable but were manipulated to mislead investors; three ex-NFL players say they lost more than $1 million, including Tae Crowder who invested $500,000. There are no criminal charges filed yet, but accusers hope for resolution as the death is investigated.
