Ted DiBiase Jr is in a lot of trouble, and he could face years in prison. He was released from jail after paying bond, but now is not the greatest time to be the son of the Million Dollar Man. Now his trial is being delayed.
Ted DiBiase Jr. is involved in Mississippi’s largest welfare embezzlement scam in the state’s history and is facing numerous serious charges. The son of The Million Dollar Man pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States.
PW Insider reports that the federal government has recently filed to delay Ted DiBiase Jr’s trial, citing the need for more time in the “extensive” discovery period. This means that the US is still working on building its case against DiBiase, his brother Brett, and his father, WWE Hall of Famer Ted DiBiase.
Court records also indicate that both parties are currently working on a timetable for the trial, which was initially scheduled to begin on June 20th.
The charges against Ted DiBiase Jr. stem from his alleged involvement in a scheme to embezzle money from the Mississippi Department of Human Services. According to federal prosecutors, DiBiase and his co-conspirators used the funds to pay for personal expenses, including cars, a luxury vacation, and a college education. This went down as the largest welfare embezzlement scheme in Mississippi history.
The delay in the trial is likely to cause frustration for those affected by the alleged embezzlement scheme, and fans will have to keep waiting to see what will happen with the WWE Hall of Famer’s offspring. If anything, we know that he has a lot of time to think about what he’s done and make plans, just in case the worst outcome is handed down from the judge.
