Swonky, I read your posts very, very carefully and just there you said felony indictments everywhere. So,I should lawyer up, huh?

Hire Sas or Alex

The old board has a huge fit with Sid vs GatorFromDetroit (not DG). Might have been the classic Pete vs Peep debate. I think Sid had a lawsuit threat. Poor GFD left the board to never return.

Heard they're getting indicted for lots-o-fraud.

If you steal from your employer, don't you usually get fired?

A lot of people would take exception to you referring to this as an employer/employee relationship.

If you are typing this question on company time, you'll be fired.

I've been one of the biggest Calloway apologist on here, but if he's facing felony charges, he's got to be let go as well as the other two that are supposedly facing felony charges. I hate to lose Skarlet over this, but at this point what the earliest he can come back, game 5 or 6? Plus you see the freshman RBs coming on and getting more carries, I just don't know how Skarlet will fit into rotation should he come back and hasn't practiced in like 6 weeks or so. Think Skarlet was likely going to forgo his senior season anyways for the draft. Maybe the ones that will only get misdemeanor charges will be allowed to come back if they haven't been in any kind of previous trouble at school. Our depth is already crappy in some areas, can't imagine what it will be at seasons end if none of these guys return.

I'm impressed you might be coming around here.

Lol...old and long retired and not from UF

Wait....who drug tests anymore these days? If I drug tested my employees I'd lose most of my team....you're working for the wrong company!

All transportation workers, all government contractors, all medical device manufacturers, military, etc. I know there are some I am leaving out but everywhere I have ever worked.

According to a guy on reddit who said he has "sources"....

Callaway and Scarlett might be facing jail time...who knows at this point but fun to speculate

Thieves belong in jail.

if they are asking YOU for a drug test, Rog, the answer is yes. We know how that one's going to go.

I would think that the university would have to press charges, but who knows. Time will tell.

No I don't think so. In criminal cases, technically it's the State of Florida vs. Defendant "X" so the state can move forward without the cooperation of the alleged victim. While it's helpful to have a cooperative victim it's not a mandate. With that being said, does anybody believe that UF isn't going to "press charges"? Of course they will, if for no other reason than to cover their own azz. Not doing so is an invitation for the NCAA to come snooping around.

I would think UF is good letting them investigate and the money being paid back on the ones without additional stuff and letting the agency/state make the call on whether they think charges are in order.

Yeah this is probably what the UAA thought, theyd just convince the university to avoid prosecuting the cases.

Unfortunately they forgot that all (or most) of those Gator1 cards were linked to a debit/credit card and when the players claimed the cards werestolen and used by someone else, they actually created more victims, namely the credit card companies and merchants who were defrauded. (For those who have no backgeound in this, on fraud cases the CC companies usually charge the merchant some mysterious amount from some unknown scale.)

So it was never a victimless crime and UF was never the only victim.

I'm thinking much of the delay might come to be the State Attorney's mulling over, "Do I really want the State to jail these young men or What kind of lesson can we teach them to scare'em straight?

Whatever happens:
1) I don't want them "winning" by getting back on the team. Free up scholarships & set an example for our honor system.
2) The UF designers of this credit/debit pay system need to change it. They surely can come up with something safer for all.

One of the articles linked in this thread had the State Attorney say that his understanding was this was a typical case of credit card fraud with nothing extraordinary other than who was involved. I really didn't get the impression he was going to go hard after the kids. As stated by many, they will probably get some probation or deferred prosecution, except for the few that have lined themselves up for felonies, which will probably get plead down. BTW, I believe Huntley is only representing a couple of the players.
