Richard Rufus – Failed Investment Scheme
Huffington Post
During his short career in the early 2000s, soccer player Richard Rufus became one of the highest-paid stars in the game while playing for the Charlton Athletic.

There, prosecutors accused Rufus of spending a “large proportion on his personal expenses and lifestyle.”
