Man Linked to Alleged NFL E‑Commerce Scam Found Dead in New Jersey Pool

Authorities have opened an active investigation into the death and prosecutors have not filed charges in the alleged investment scheme.

Overview

  • Police found 24-year-old Mohamed Coulibaly's body in a Harrison Township swimming pool on Friday during a welfare check called by family members.
  • Local authorities have opened a formal probe into the death and have not released a cause of death or other findings.
  • A recent Barron's investigation accused Coulibaly of running a scheme that used manually altered sales logs to sell stakes in fake online stores.
  • Multiple former NFL players say they lost more than $1 million collectively to the investments with one player, Tae Crowder, reporting a $500,000 loss.
  • Coulibaly previously denied wrongdoing and blamed delayed acquisition funds for missed payouts and his accusers say they are seeking legal and investigative action while no criminal charges have been filed.
