WAFB: Kayshon Boutte charged in illegal sports gaming scheme

An arrest warrant has been issued for former LSU football player Kayshon Boutte for charges related to online gaming, the WAFB I-TEAM has learned. He is being charged with Computer Fraud, a felony, and a misdemeanor count of Gaming Prohibited for Persons under 21. He is expected to turn himself in at the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison later today.
quote:
He is also accused illegally gambling, using that fraudulent account, to place thousands of different bets including some on LSU football. The wagers and payouts involved “several hundred thousand dollars,” said one source familiar with the case.
quote:
Some of the wagers were allegedly placed while he was still a player at LSU in 2022.
quote:
According to his arrest warrant, Louisiana State Police were contacted by “FanDuel Sportsbook” in July 2023, informing them that “a prohibited person, a collegiate athlete, possibly made several sports wagers.”
Boutte allegedly created the name of a fictitious female, Kayla Fortenberry, to create the online gaming account and used his own mother’s credit card to fund the account, the warrant says.
Seventeen wagers were made on NCAA football, which including wagers on LSU Football between the dates of August 28, 2022 and October 9, 2023, the warrant states.
Six of the wagers were on LSU football, including one game where he bet on himself, investigators allege. That particular game was LSU versus Florida State on September 4, 2022 where Boutte allegedly placed one bet that he would personally score at least one touchdown in the game and another bet that he would have over 82.5 receiving yards.
According to the warrant, during 2022 and 2023:
Boutte deposited a total of $132,147.53 into the account
Boutte won a total of $556,267.58, but used most of that money to make additional bets
Boutte withdrew $50,282.36 from the account

LSU has issued a statement, WAFB has updated the article:
quote:
LSU issued the following statement:
“In July 2023, LSU was made aware of allegations regarding a former student-athlete’s improper conduct related to sports gambling while enrolled at the University.
Since then, we have fully cooperated with all relevant authorities involved in the investigation and will continue to do so.
We have no evidence that any other student-athletes participated in these prohibited activities, and we are grateful for measures that detect and discourage sports gambling related misconduct.”

Wow. What a head case that guy turned out to be. He went from a top 20 pick lock to parish prison in short order.

Several hundred hundreds of thousands of dollars gambled? Jesus how much was Gordon paying him?

No wonder he sucked that year.

Remember when like every athlete at Iowa and Iowa State was getting suspended for gambling on games? Turns out the investigations were illegal and now the agent that conducted them is under investigation for having conducted illegal searches and illegal surveillance.
But hey, he completely fricked a bunch of peoples careers.

He must have thought investigators would quit like he always did on his routes.

Brian Kelly had some interesting comments in the past about new gambling laws & athletes dating back to 22’.

I got TONS of crap that week stating that the problem wasn’t Daniels but that it was Boutte. I thought he was clearly fat out of shape and didn’t give a crap.
I really now want to know if he was shaving points that game.
He gave up on a clear TD in the first half and had several other negative plays as well

Sounds like he was acting as a bookie through one of the gambling platforms. Doesn't necessarily mean that HE was specifically making thousands of bets more so he was betting for other minors
Hundreds of thousands of dollars on Wagers / Payouts is extremely misleading. You can have multi hundred thousand dollar payouts with like 1-5K wager (multi leg parlay)
I highly doubt he was wagering hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Remember all that video of him pouting big time on the sideline? He must have been losing.
