Travis Kelce Was Named a Victim in a $31 Million Fraud Scheme. His Fame May Explain Why

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was identified as a victim in a massive Ponzi scheme. Siddharth Jawahar, the leader of a Texas-based investment firm, was sentenced to 11 years in federal prison after pleading guilty to three counts of wire fraud. Prosecutors state the scheme bilked 64 victims, draining between $31 million and $35 million from investors. Experts suggest Kelce's high level of fame made him an especially attractive target for this financial fraud.
