Paul Allen has identity stolen

82886498_crop_north

Well, even the richest NFL owner has to deal with the same kind of crap that the rest of us have to worry about.

Seahawks owner Paul Allen had his identity stolen by Brandon Price, a former soldier who changed the address on Allen’s bank account and then told the bank that Price had lost his debit card.

Price received a replacement card, attempting to use it to pay off his personal loans and make a $15,000 wire transfer.

Yes, Allen is worth $13.5 billion, and Price tried to steal only $15,000 from him.

Price will plead guilty to fraud. He faces up to 30 years in a place where his identity will once again be changed to something like 24601. (And if you were entertained by that link, here’s the long version.)
