TRENDING: Former Dolphins Star Reshad Jones Reportedly Scammed Out of $2.58 Million in Elaborate Financial Scheme
In a shocking development that has sent ripples through the NFL and financial communities, former Miami Dolphins star safety Reshad Jones has reportedly fallen victim to an elaborate financial scam, resulting in the loss of $2.58 million.
According to confidential sources close to Jones and preliminary investigative reports, the scheme was orchestrated by a group posing as high-profile investment consultants operating under the fake shell company “TideRock Capital Advisory.” The group allegedly targeted several former professional athletes by promising lucrative offshore investment opportunities and guaranteed returns as high as 22% annually.
Jones, a two-time Pro Bowler known for his on-field instincts and toughness, is said to have been approached by the con artists in late 2023. The scammers reportedly gained his trust through a combination of fake referrals, doctored documents, and in-person meetings held in luxury venues across Miami and Atlanta. Over a span of four months, Jones transferred funds through a series of wire transactions, unaware that he was being defrauded.
The scheme unraveled in June 2025 after Jones attempted to withdraw part of his “investment” to help fund a youth football foundation he was launching in South Florida. When the fake firm stopped responding and its website mysteriously vanished, Jones contacted legal counsel and the FBI’s Financial Crimes Division, which has since launched an active investigation.
“I worked my whole life for what I have,” Jones said in a statement through his attorney. “To be taken advantage of like this is heartbreaking, but I’m speaking up so other athletes don’t fall into the same trap.”
Multiple other former NFL and NBA players are rumored to be involved, though no further names have been confirmed publicly.
As the investigation continues, the case highlights a troubling trend: retired athletes being targeted by sophisticated white-collar criminals due to their often-limited financial literacy and access to large sums of capital.
Federal authorities are urging anyone with information related to “TideRock Capital Advisory” to come forward.
