I admit to the sins of being an attorney, my practice is not focused on Federal law (which I have little knowledge of) so I turn to others to answer some of the questions on this case going forward.

Besides, even if I did know Federal law well, I am too busy getting my son ready to go to be a QB at LSU, while my oldest daughter pursues her molding career in NYC and the damn little dog is chewing up all my $2,000 shoes. Damn, I barley have time to get new pictures for my billboards!

1) Assuming JPF is sentenced on the Wire fraud case, can any other Federal entity (IRS etc.) file further charges (double jeopardy?)

2) If Rohan’s family members and or Alexander’s Dad knowingly sent money back that was stolen won’t they get charged with wire fraud

3) I think boosters have been banned in the past by Universities, can LSU ban Funes?

4) Given this has now grown to involving multiple parties (and maybe more to come), is there a potential RICO case?

5) What are the legal implications for others who knew of the fraud but did not take part?

6) Would any of the States get involved when the Feds get done?

This is without a doubt the most ineffective attempt at comedy ever put forth on the internet.

The IRS doesn't file charges. The Federal prosecutors do. They cannot file charges again for the same acts

Not sure about Alexander's dad, but pretty sure I read they were not pursuing charges on Rohan

yes, and I'm fairly certain they are required to disassociate with him, although not sure he would qualify as a booster. I also thinks it goes without saying that LSU wants absolutely nothing to do with him going forward.

potentially, as in I wouldn't think double jeopardy would attach if he is charged with violating a laws of a state.

Yes he can be charged by both, not a lawyer but did watch the news this week

The Supreme Court ruled this past Monday, sovereignty trumps double jeopardy. A person can be charged by the state and federal government for related crimes.

Maybe Funes could help Ed Ingram.
