Kelce Named as Victim in $25M Fraud Case; Defendant Gets 11-Year Sentence Amid Congressional Letter Drama

Sid Jawahar was sentenced to 11 years in federal prison for a multimillion-dollar wire fraud scheme tied to a fund he co-founded. Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was named as a victim. Prosecutors say Jawahar used new investor money to pay older investors and fund an extravagant lifestyle. U.S. Rep. Sam Graves sought leniency by sending a letter through the political consulting firm Axiom Strategies to influence the judge, but the court imposed the 11-year sentence and Jawahar faces possible deportation after serving.
