Former WWE star Ted DiBiase Jr.'s defense rested their case today in the ongoing criminal trial against the third-generation star.
DiBiase did not take the stand in his own defense.
DiBiase Jr. was arrested in April 2023 on one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and to commit theft concerning programs receiving federal funds, six counts of wire fraud, two counts of theft concerning programs receiving federal funds, and four counts of money laundering. The charges are part of Mississippi’s largest welfare fraud scandal, which involved more than $77 million in federal funds meant for the state’s poorest residents. Prosecutors allege the money was improperly distributed to former athletes, wrestlers, and nonprofits. DiBiase faces a potential sentence of up to 20 years per wire fraud count, 10 years per theft and money laundering count, and five years for conspiracy - if he is found guilty.
