Super Bowl Champs & Nick Cannon -- Alleged Con Artist Charged in Miami Heat Scam
Super Bowl Champs & Nick Cannon Alleged Con Artist Charged in Miami Heat Scam
Nick Cannon suddenly has something in common with 2 Super Bowl champs -- they were all targeted for tens of thousands of dollars by an alleged scam artist who just got slapped with multiple felonies.
As TMZ Sports first reported ... ex-Patriots star Jarvis Green was nearly ripped off earlier this year ... by a man who claimed he could hook him up with Miami Heat season tickets AND partial ownership of the team.
According to the California Attorney General's office ... George French Jones made similar offers to Charles Woodson, Warren Moon, and oddly ... Cannon.
Jones was charged today with 11 felonies ... including grand theft, obtaining money by false pretenses, and identity theft.
What's interesting is how much cash he tried to lift from each victim: $50k from Woodson, and $25k from Green.
Clearly he didn't think Nick's pockets were as deep ... because he only asked for, and ultimately got, $15k from Mariah's husband.
But the biggest fish was Moon -- whose rep wired $200,000 to Jones, according to the docs.
Jones faces more than 30 years in prison if convicted. For now ... prosecutors want him held without bail, unless he can prove he's paying it with legit funds, instead of his victims' loot.
