Ted DiBiase And Family Ordered To Repay Millions In Embezzled Funds

That could cost them. Wrestlers are larger than life characters who try their best to make you believe that everything they are doing is real. That can make for some difficult situations as sometimes they are so over the top that no one would believe what they are seeing. The great ones can make it work, though now it would be nice to have someone’s character be their real life persona.

The office of Mississippi State Auditor Shad White has announced, by way of NBC 29 (Charlottesville, Virginia) that the state is attempting to recover $77 million in misspent Temporary Assistance For Needy Families funding. This includes money given to the DiBiase family, who was implicated in the scandal in 2020. DiBiase’s family has been ordered to repay millions of dollars to the state, including the following specifics:

• Brett Dibiase: $225,950

• Heart of David Ministries, controlled by Ted Dibiase, Sr.: $722,299

• Ted Dibiase, Jr.: $3.903 million

These situations are civil, meaning that no one is currently facing any form of criminal issues, though that may change in the future if the money is not returned.

DiBiase has some money. Check out how he has used it in the past:

Opinion: This is some pretty serious stuff as that is quite a bit of money. The fact that so much money has been taken from the state shows just how widespread of a problem this is, and the DiBiase family certainly seems to be right in the thick of things. Hopefully this is wrapped up soon, but that is quite a bit of money to have been misused by a single group of people.
