Mayce Edward Christopher Webber III in trouble?
 

Government reportedly can link Webber to booster

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Associated Press


DETROIT -- Federal prosecutors are expected to seek charges against Sacramento Kings star Chris Webber on charges he lied to a grand jury about his dealings with a University of Michigan basketball booster, sources have told The Detroit News.


A grand jury could be asked to indict Webber as early as Wednesday on charges of making a false declaration before a grand jury on Aug. 2, 2000, the newspaper reported Tuesday.


It quoted unidentified sources familiar with the investigation.


If convicted, the former Michigan and Detroit Country Day standout could face up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. It is unclear how many counts Webber would face in an indictment.


A message left with Gina Balaya, spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney's office in Detroit, was not immediately returned late Monday night.


Kings spokesman Troy Hanson said he had not heard about any possible indictment and declined further comment.


In May, former Michigan booster Ed Martin pleaded guilty to conspiracy to launder monetary instruments.


Martin, 68, admitted he took gambling money, co-mingled it with earned income and money given to him from another person, then loaned it to at least four players while they were still amateurs.


Martin said he paid $280,000 to Webber; $160,000 to Robert Traylor, now with the Charlotte Hornets; $105,000 to Maurice Taylor, now with the Houston Rockets; and $71,000 to Louis Bullock, who is playing professionally in Europe.


Martin's attorney, William Mitchell III of Troy, said Webber's indictment was "a distinct possibility -- Mr. Webber and several others.''


Traylor and Bullock admitted receiving the loans when they testified in front of the grand jury, said their attorney, Steve Fishman.


"They didn't lie to the grand jury. They didn't commit any crime. They may have committed an NCAA violation, but they have nothing to worry about,'' Fishman said Monday.


Chicago Bulls and former Michigan player Jalen Rose also said in May that he took "pocket money'' from Martin.


After Martin's indictment, Webber publicly denied taking significant amounts of money from Martin and said the government's charges were inaccurate.


"Mr. Webber probably needs to consult with counsel before he makes any further statements,'' Martin's attorney said.


Among the government's evidence that Webber was not truthful with the grand jury are detailed financial records that suggest Webber repaid Martin about $40,000, the newspaper reported.


"The government believes they may have some information to that end,'' Mitchell said.


On May 28, Martin testified that he gave Webber -- whose full legal name is Mayce Edward Christopher Webber III -- about $280,000 in cash and gifts and that he paid for other college expenses.


Webber, 29, who led the Michigan basketball team dubbed the "Fab Five'' for its starting freshmen lineup in 1991, was the first pick in the 1993 National Basketball Association draft.

This sort of stuff has been going on for YEARS!!! Why them? Why now? Those guys have been out of college for x amount of years. The money that they received is pocket change to them now. Instead of worrying about how these high school/college ballplayers are getting money, they need to worry about things like why they get to play basketball a few nights out of the week, travel to exotic places, and make millions and billions of dollars while there are people that work HARD everyday (teachers, police officers, etc.) and get paid at the bottom of the pile-- with NO bonus.

And I know there are a lot of you from other threads, Josh Ryan Evans who played Timmy died last night from a heart condition.

Re: attention Passions fans!
 

Ironically, his character "Timmy" also died the same day on "Passions". Mr. Evans was to take a hiatus from the soap opera and at a later date, his character was to be brought back to life. How sad. :(

Timmy's dead!!! I'm soooo sad!!!

Jay-Z And Dame Dash At Odds?

Wed Aug 7,10:57 AM ET

(8/7/02, 10 a.m. ET) -- Jay-Z and Dame Dash may own two-thirds of Roc-A-Fella Records--the very profitable label, with an artist roster that includes State Property, Beanie Sigel, Memphis Bleek, DJ Clue, Cam'ron, Freeway, the Diplomats, Rell, and Jay-Z--but reports have surfaced that the two might be at odds. Some have gone as far as to suggest that Jay-Z might even be leaving the label.



Late last year reports surfaced that Jay-Z wasn't so keen on Dash's signing of Cam'ron. One insider's take, which was published in New York's Daily News, claims that recent developments have made matters worse, with the source saying, "Jay-Z wasn't happy that Damon (Dame) signed Cam'ron as an artist. He was doubly unhappy when Damon made him the vice president of the company."

Rumors abounded for months that there was tension between Jay-Z and Cam'ron, but Jay-Z's appearance on the song "Welcome To New York" on Cam'ron's latest album, Come Home With Me, appeared to confound such rumors.

In addition, last month Jay-Z and Dash purchased Armadale Vodka, so the pair now shares an interest in Roc-A-Wear Clothing, Roc-A-Fella Films, the Rock-A-Fella label, and the vodka company.

When contacted by LAUNCH, a Roc-A-Fella Records representative described the reports of the tension between Jay-Z and Dash as "pure bulls--t," and Jay-Z also took the airwaves of New York's WQHT Hot 97 FM on Tuesday evening (August 6) to further dispel the reports.

And in a recent Source magazine article, Dash shared that sometimes the pair don't agree, "We're friends. Friends argue with each other every week. We might not agree about everything. We might get into it, but we don't get into it too heavy. There has never been anything where we've gotten into a major, major beef. Nothing's ever jeopardized our friendship. Friends argue. Businesspeople argue. We ain't got too much to be mad about. We both got money. We had a dram, we talked about it, we made it happen. You just can't be upset."

-- Yves Erwin Salomon, New York

Ok, how do you take an outsider in and make him VP of you company? That's like me walking in as a first year teacher and being made asst. principal. :confused:

Cam'Ron didn't help to build any of the Roc-A-Fella "empire." I won't be surprised about the rumors of it all tumbling down....
