An NBA vet is investigated by the FBI on suspicion of fraud
A Detroit Pistons player is under investigation by the FBI and officials in Wayne County, Michigan for his role in possibly fraudulent deals on two or more homes. Lindsey Hunter’s believed to be a victim by county investigators, but the long-time NBA guard is reportedly the main focus of the federal probe, in which Hunter’s company allegedly swindled a boiler operator. Bruce McClellan says he was tricked into buying a $1.25 million home by people claiming to represent Hunter’s company, though McClellan only earns about $35,000 a year. Says Hunter’s lawyer Deano Ware: “While we are unable to comment on the specific facts involved in this matter because of the likelihood of potential litigation, Mr. Hunter emphatically denies any involvement in any wrongdoing on the part of other members of L&I Enterprises, Inc. Mr. Hunter was strictly a silent partner of L&I Enterprises, Inc., who relied upon representations made to him by individuals he believed in and trusted. He subsequently discovered the representations to be untrue. Immediately upon doing so, Mr. Hunter terminated any and all dealings he had with those individuals and L&I Enterprises, Inc.”
