NFL Chargers star Dwight Freeney is furious that his former financial advisor, Eva Weinberg received what is basically a 'slap on the wrist' for allegedly swindling him out of millions of dollars. He is now asking the judge to send her to prison.
Court documents were filed on Monday in California alleging that Weinberg and partner, Michael Stern, stole $2.2 million from Freeney in 2010 while acting as his financial advisors. Stern received a five year prison sentence after pleading guilty. Weinberg pled guilty to a lesser charge in exchange for a lighter sentence, which amounted to 36-months probation with 8 months of house arrest.
Freeney claims in the court documents that Eva Weinberg "lied repeatedly to the prosecutor and FBI" about her involvement in the scheme. Weinberg allegedly placed the blame primarily on Michael Stern.
