Gilbert Arenas was one of the most entertaining NBA players in recent history. The game really misses his personality. This is a guy who made light of bringing (unloaded) guns into the locker room and always gave the media a good quote to run with. Arenas also stole around $60 million from the Wizards, Magic, and Grizzlies, depending on how petty you are. Needless to say, his former assistant getting him for a couple mil isn't going to hurt him much.
From 2006 through 2012, John A. White—personal assistant to Young Hibachi—stole more than $2 million from the former NBA star. He was brought up on 11 counts of wire fraud in federal court on Wednesday. He's now looking at a maximum sentence of 232years. Financial records show White spent the money on a Ferrari, a Range Rover, and mortgage payments on his Windermere, Fla. home. He was also convicted on four counts of tax fraud for not reporting the stolen money on his tax returns. Uncle Sam always wins.
