Clinton Portis: wanted to murder financial manager
Ex-Redskins RB Clinton Portis was ready to commit murder until friend talked him out of it
Former Washington Redskins running back Clinton Portis contemplated killing one of his former financial managers after losing millions of dollars in various investments, helping to wipe out part of his NFL fortune. In a story published by Sports Illustrated, Portis recounted a night four years ago in which he sat in a car outside a building, holding a gun and awaiting one of the managers he felt had ruined him financially. Portis had made $43.1 million in his nine-year NFL career, but most of it had either been spent or lost through investments or, as one lawsuit asserted, bank withdrawals without his consent. An anonymous friend, a television producer who had been trained as a family therapist, talked him out of committing murder. But Portis said he went there, sitting in his car late at night outside a building in Washington, D.C., with one purpose. "It wasn't no beat up," Portis told Sports Illustrated. "It was kill." The story does not specify whom Portis was awaiting that night in 2013, saying he was looking for one of several managers who had handled his funds. But Portis told the publication that if he had seen the person before settling down: "We'd probably be doing this interview from prison." http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/1...r-fortune-lost |

$48M....but most of it had been spent.
what an idiot. wonder how many car washes of friends he invested in. Or maybe a few bars or restaurants. Those are always a winning investment.

If I made $48M, I wouldn't have any desire in turning $48M into $60M etc.
plop that $48m somewhere and just live off the 1/2% interest.
