Shaquille O'Neal, Draymond Green defrauded in LA scam

NBA stars Shaquille O'Neal and Draymond Green have fallen victim to a scam in Los Angeles, losing $20,000 each. The man behind the scam is Eugene Henley, who claimed to run a charity called Developing Options. The duo made their donations to support underprivileged children in sports. However, it was later revealed that the organization was a front for gang-related activities. Henley transferred the donated funds directly into his personal checking account. Both athletes donated their money in August 2019. Henley has also been accused of defrauding other individuals in a similar manner. When authorities investigated, they found that the charity had received significant funding from the LA Mayor's Office, which was mostly taken by Henley as salary. This incident is not the first time O'Neal and Green have been involved with Henley. He has a history as a controversial figure in the music industry and has charged protection fees to athletes visiting Los Angeles. A federal complaint has been filed against him, listing nine other victims who have also lost money.
