Ben “Parlay” Patz Turns Himself into Authorities: Accused of Threatening Several Athletes

Threatening to kill professional athletes? Doesn’t sound like the brightest of ideas. Hope this kid gets what he deserves

quote:

U.S. Attorney Maria Chapa Lopez charged 23-year-old gambler Ben “Parlay” Patz with allegedly threatening to carry out acts of violence against athletes and their families, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida announced Wednesday.


quote:

Patz rose to modest fame in the gambling space during the past football season for amassing over $1.1 million in gross winnings via parlays in less than two months.


quote:

“Your throat will be severed open with a dull knife.” “Your entire family will be beheaded and burned alive.” “I will enter your home as you sleep and kill you.”


quote:

The charge against Patz is transmitting threats in interstate or foreign commerce. If convicted, Patz faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison.

Would love to know which athletes he threatened and see them meet in person to discuss such threats.

For sending angry messages to athletes on social media? Sure, he's a fricking loser but he isn't going to come close to serving 5 years (if he even serves times at all)

Darren Rovell should be charged as an accessory to crime.

I know he won't. But that guy is deranged. It wasn't one message sent to one player. But multiple messages to a number of players and teams threatening to kill them or their children. Sick bastard.
