Former WWE Superstar Ted DiBiase Jr. is facing an immense legal battle that could result in him being sentenced to a staggering 45 years in prison. DiBiase Jr. was a prominent figure in WWE, with a tenure of about six years between 2007 and 2013. During his time in the company, he gained considerable popularity as a member of Randy Orton’s Legacy faction. However, when his contract with WWE expired in September 2013, DiBiase Jr. decided not to renew it, paving the way for a new chapter in his life outside the wrestling world.
Unfortunately, that new chapter took an unexpected turn as DiBiase Jr. and his family found themselves at the center of a massive legal controversy. In May of the previous year, the Mississippi Department of Human Services filed a lawsuit against the DiBiase family, which includes Ted DiBiase Jr., his father Ted DiBiase, and his brother. The suit alleges that the family was involved in squandering a staggering sum of over $20 million from an anti-poverty program.
The charges against DiBiase Jr. are quite severe, including allegations of money laundering, wire fraud, and theft related to federal funds allocated for various programs. These accusations have undoubtedly placed him in a precarious legal situation with potentially dire consequences.
In response to the charges, Ted DiBiase Jr. has pleaded not guilty to all of them, maintaining his innocence in the matter. As the case unfolds, the public awaits his court appearance, which is scheduled for August 14, 2023. The outcome of this appearance could significantly impact his future and the trajectory of his life.
If DiBiase Jr. is found guilty of the charges against him, the consequences could be severe. Alongside facing the prospect of spending several decades behind bars, he may also be subjected to a substantial million-dollar fine. Such a verdict would undoubtedly have a profound impact on his reputation and personal life, potentially altering the course of his career and relationships.
