Portland Pair Charged in $1.3M Dating-Investment Scam Impersonating an NFL Star

The U.S. Department of Justice charged 35-year-old Daejon Love and 18-year-old Taylor Chan in Portland with wire fraud and conspiracy for a scheme that defrauded women of about $1.3 million from 2022–2026. Love allegedly posed as a wealthy NFL player and, with Chan acting as his investment adviser, used fake investment gains and three-way video calls to persuade victims to send money or take loans. They created a false persona of wealth and success, and prosecutors say they exploited dating-app meetings to carry out the fraud. The arrest and related online posts criticizing Love’s persona are noted in the piece.
