🎙️Episode 18: Sports Scams & Frauds Series - Episode 1: The Player Conspiracies: Health, Wealth & Hustle

**DISCLAIMER**

Hey BC3 Crew! I wanted to take the time to address two reviews that I've gotten. I realize that I tend to overuse "umm" throughout the show. I am working on it and took the time to edit this episode so that the filler words have been removed. I will definitely keep that in mind moving forward, but thank you all so much for the opportunity to improve every episode!

The checks stopped. The pain lingered. And the playbook for fraud took center stage. This week on Black Coffee, Crime & Crochet, Jasmine uncovers two massive healthcare schemes led by former pro athletes. Terrence Williams and Robert McCune weren’t just scamming insurance companies, they were defrauding the very systems meant to support them and their teammates after retirement. Jasmine unpacks how these brotherhoods broke bad, why financial desperation thrives in sports, and what these scams reveal about the dark side of life after the game. Grab your coffee and your crochet hook. We are talking pain, power, and the price of hustle.

This Week’s Blend Iced Coffee of the Week:
Mocha Hustle Cold Brew. Before we lace up and hit the field, let’s sip on something that fits the mood.

Today’s blend is The Mocha Hustle Cold Brew — strong, smooth, and deceptively sweet. How to Make It:

1 cup cold brew coffee
½ cup chocolate oat milk (or regular milk if you prefer)
1 tablespoon caramel syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla syrup
Ice to fill your 16–20 oz glass
Optional: dust cocoa powder on top

It’s bold, it’s indulgent, and it’ll keep you sharp while we talk about players who fumbled their integrity, not just the ball.

In This Episode

Sip or Spill
Do you think former athletes face enough support to avoid these kinds of desperate decisions? Or is this just a case of greed over gratitude?
