Turner reportedly received a call on Feb. 19 from an individual impersonating a JP Morgan Chase banker. Per the Tribune, he later that day went to a Chase branch in Eagan and transferred $120,000 to “Island Food Truck LLC.” That same day, Turner went to a different Chase Bank branch, in West St. Paul, and transferred another $120K to “CNL FL LLC.”

While Police Sgt. Rich Evans said the investigation “has identified several suspects,” only about $2,500 of the stolen money has been recovered, according to Paul Walsh of the Trib.

As a first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Tuner is currently under contract with the Vikings for four years and $15.7 million. All of that money is fully guaranteed.

I saw this. Too bad.

The article it trying hard to connect this to football

Dallas Turner’s anticipated sophomore season in the NFL is off to an ominous start.

What in the world does this have to do with his sophomore season in the NFL?

Still, this report is a brutal off–field distraction for a player hoping to make a sizable impact on Minnesota’s upcoming 2025 season.

Is it tho?

Anyway, it's unfortunate. I know some of these scammers can be pretty convincing but man ... 240k? I'd love to know more about how it all went down. At least it wasn't to the Nigerian royal family.
