Phil Mickelson linked with illegal $3 million gambling scheme

[Spike]

A report from ESPN’s Outside the Lines on Monday has linked golfer Phil Mickelson with a nearly $3 million sports-betting scheme with an “illegal gambling operation” based outside the United States. The report, which is based on court documents and various sources, notes that Mickelson has not been charged for his alleged involvement, but adds the man who reportedly handled his money pled guilty last week.

A 56-year-old former sports gambling handicapper, acting as a conduit for an offshore gambling operation, pleaded guilty last week to laundering approximately $2.75 million of money that two sources told Outside the Lines belonged to Mickelson.

Im glad someone posted this. I never liked Mickelson. He always appeared to be very fake to me. What I find funny is this is barely news, but if it were Tiger it would be everywhere 24/7. Tiger maybe the biggest A-hole around, but as far as we know has not done anything illegal. It will be interesting to see how the media handles this if Mickelson is implicated in any way.

Not that it's a comparison; but, Mike Vick spent two years imprisoned over dog fighting - this clown needs to do some time IF found guilty...
