re: Wade could face federal charges amid probe of LSU basketball

“The federal government could do to Mr. Wade what they did to Mr. Dawkins, and indict him and prosecute him in federal court under a wire fraud theory,” said Meche.

I posted this on Friday and was roundly called stupid. It depends on how the money transferred. For Wade’s sake, hopefully it was a shoebox full of cash.

I think the only real trouble Wade could get into would be Perjury. I imagine all transfers were in cash.

It's the same "what if" game that CNN plays. What if WW ate babies? He could get charged with murder. Joe Alleva should fire him now.

That's an AP article

The feds have jurisdiction if it’s wire fraud or conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

I don’t think he’s provided any sworn testimony yet.

Someone has to be victimized via phones, internet, etc. It’s a federal crime because those communication means often cross outside state and local jurisdictions. The government would have to build a case that the school was victimized by their pay for play scheme. Seems like a stretch, but how do they have this shoe exec convinced already?
