KD in CA Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 As an aside, he is engaged to Brady Quinn's sister. I thought she married AJ Hawk. Or is there another sister?
Dorkington Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 I really wish each league counseled players on financial management. These stories are all too common (though not generally a dude's parents, sheesh).
YoloinOhio Posted November 20, 2014 Author Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) I thought she married AJ Hawk. Or is there another sister? His younger sister, Kelly. Laura is married to AJ. Edited November 20, 2014 by YoloinOhio
Fingon Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) I doubt Johnson will end up having to pay any of this money. They very clearly engaged in fraud, and he has no duty to pay the debts of his adult parents. I also wouldn't be surprised to see his parents charged with identity theft.

His parents may be charged, but those are his debts. This is why you don't ever assign blanket power of attorney to someone else.
