Wigs, makeup let fraudsters pose as NFL players, scoring $20M in fake loans

They established fake companies and produced counterfeit documentation, even going as far as using disguises during video calls. Altogether, they amassed an astonishing $19.845 million through twelve fraudulent loans from various lenders before their plot was uncovered by a players’ union that detected bogus contracts.
