Thread: Brett Favre Allegedly Involved In $8 Million Welfare Scam

Former NFL quarterback Brett Favre has been linked to an $8 million welfare scam, in which Favre and others are accused of misappropriating funds from the state of Mississippi for personal use and other expenditures.

Text messages from Favre to John Davis, director of the Mississippi Department of Human Services, requesting assistance from Davis and another state official in helping clear a debt he and his wife had accrued, were recently published as part of an expose documenting Favre’s reach with Mississippi state officials.

“Hey brother, (we) owe 1.1m on Vball. Any chance you and Nancy can help?” Favre texted Davis, referencing Nancy New, the founder of a nonprofit organization, who has been indicted on embezzlement charges along with five others. “You and Nancy stuck your neck out for me and that’s going to turn out very good,” he wrote. It is alleged that Favre also received a Ford F-150 Raptor from Davis using misappropriated funds.

Interesting. The pain cream thing might have some legs but I’m not sure the funds for the volleyball stadium part do. That text alone doesn’t mean he did wrong there, he messaged a government official asking for assistance with a stadium at a university. Unless there’s more to that, as in he said “use welfare funds to pay for this” I don’t see how what he did there is wrong. The official and whoever Nancy is chose where the funds came from and how they were accounted etc, not Brett.

I remember he had a scandal about money he ended up giving back. It'll be interesting and potentially saddening to see how this all plays out.

Dick pics or it didnt happen.
