The identity of ex-NFL star Earl Thomas was used in a fraud case involving 1.9 million US dollars. The police are trying to solve it.

Watch out, it could get complicated.

The current boyfriend of the ex-wife of former NFL player Earl Thomas has been arrested.

He is alleged to have stolen the ex-Seahawk’s identity and caused damage in excess of 1.9 million US dollars.

Police officers from the Jefferson Parish Sherriff’s Office arrested Nina Thomas’ boyfriend back in June. His name is Kevin J. Thompson. The man from New Orleans is said to have posed as Earl Thomas for an extended period of time.

Police investigate – Earl Thomas as victim

Apparently, Thompson helped himself to Thomas’ NFL checks, withdrew money from his bank account and transferred ownership of several vehicles.

As the New Orleans-based portal “Nola.com” reports, he is accused of a whole list of criminal offenses. These include “identity theft, credit card fraud, money laundering, forgery, bank fraud and computer fraud”.

Earl Thomas, who was active in the NFL between 2010 and 2019, apparently did not notice the activities at first.

As the police found out, Thompson used a fake driver’s license with Thomas’ information but Thompson’s photo. In this way, he transferred the rights to several cars to himself, which he then sold for a profit.

Earl Thomas drama: Not the first crime

A loan company in Texas discovered unusual and suspicious activity in June, which is how Thompson’s crimes were uncovered. It is also unclear whether Thompson stole other cars.

Thompson is said to have withdrawn 700,000 US dollars in cash alone.

Earl Thomas and Nina Thomas divorced in 2020. She accused him of cheating on her.

A court ruled that Earl Thomas was not allowed to come within 500 meters of his ex. Now he has officially been cheated on – albeit in a different way
