Mary Jo White's Report: Blueprint for Potential Criminal Prosecution of Dan Snyder
Mary Jo White's report on the Washington Commanders' financial manipulation provides a potential blueprint for state or federal prosecution of owner Daniel Snyder. The report found that the team intentionally manipulated financial records to minimize revenue sharing with other NFL teams, violating league rules. The report contains numerous references to the deliberate underreporting of shareable revenue and the creation of a second set of books. Snyder's involvement and knowledge of these schemes were also highlighted. The report suggests that Snyder could face legal complications beyond the $60 million fine imposed by the NFL, with potential criminal charges under Maryland, Virginia, or federal law. The report provides a clear case for aggressive prosecution, potentially uncovering at least $11 million and possibly up to $44 million in fraud.
