A Georgia businessman has been convicted of scamming former NBA players Dwight Howard and Chandler Parsons out of $8 million. The jury handed down the guilty verdict in a Manhattan federal court on Friday, bringing an end to a long and complex case that began over eight years ago.
Calvin Darden Jr. was the mastermind behind the scheme, using his cunning and charisma to convince the two NBA stars to invest in his business ventures. However, the investments turned out to be nothing more than a ruse, with Darden using the money for his own personal gain.
This is not the first time Darden has been in trouble with the law. In fact, he was previously sentenced to a year in prison for impersonating his successful father. It appears that Darden has a history of deception and manipulation, using his fake persona to get what he wants.
Former NBA star Dwight Howard was one of the victims of Darden's scheme. Howard, who has played for several teams including the Orlando Magic and the Los Angeles Lakers, was convinced by Darden to invest in one of his business ventures. However, the investment turned out to be a scam, and Howard lost a significant amount of money.
Chandler Parsons was another victim of Darden's scheme. Parsons, who has played for the Houston Rockets and the Memphis Grizzlies, also lost a large sum of money after investing in one of Darden's fake business ventures.
The conviction of Darden brings an end to a long and difficult chapter for the two NBA stars. Both Howard and Parsons have spoken publicly about the financial losses they suffered at the hands of Darden, and they will likely be seeking restitution as part of the sentencing process.
Darden's conviction serves as a reminder of the dangers of investing in unverified business ventures. The case highlights the importance of doing thorough research and due diligence before investing in any business opportunity. It also serves as a warning to others who may be tempted to follow in Darden's footsteps and engage in similar scams.
