Tyreek Hill isn't the first WR to deal with extortion/blackmail attempts...

When you are a high profile superstar and you step a toe out of line...suddenly you are a target.

4. Blackmail

On top of a handful of other incidents over the years, Irvin claimed to be the victim of blackmail in 2007 when he was accused of assaulting a disabled contractor. Shawn Vandergrift filed a lawsuit against Irvin claiming Irvin yelled at and grabbed him during a dispute in December 2006. Police declined to press charges after an investigation after the incident. Irvin's lawyer claimed Vandergrift originally asked for $175,000 in damages, "then demanded as little as $55,000 when challenged." Irvin told the News that the attempted blackmailing "is a residual of my history," and that he "can't do anything about it." Vandergrift later dropped his complaint, according to court records.

This year, too, Irvin has been investigated for allegedly drugging and raping a 27-year-old woman, whom Irvin had considered a longtime friend, at a Florida hotel in late March. Irvin's lawyer has since said that prosecutors should drop the case after reviewing the police investigation, which Irvin told reporters has evidence backing up his contention that nothing improper happened. The ex-Cowboys receiver has again said he's the subject of blackmail:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Thxs bro. I grew up the 15th of 17 kids. Ive worked hard all my life. Never took or blackmailed anyone. This kind of stuff makes me sick👎🏾 <a href="https://t.co/DyifxbuCI1">https://t.co/DyifxbuCI1</a></p>— Michael Irvin (@michaelirvin88) <a href="https://twitter.com/michaelirvin88/status/875021043697684484?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 14, 2017</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

EXTORTION PLOT ON IRVIN ALLEGED

Quote:

Dallas man allegedly tried to extort $119,000 from troubled Dallas Cowboys star Michael Irvin, authorities said Thursday.

Teddy Wayne Solomon, 44, was arrested by undercover investigators who had arranged to make the payment demanded of Irvin and his attorney, Kevin Clancy. Solomon has been charged with felony attempted theft.

Irvin said extortionists threatened to blow up Clancy's office unless he paid $119,000. The extortionists claimed they had drug debts, Irvin said.

Irvin said it was part of a pattern of abuse that has trailed him since his indictment last month on drug-possession charges. Irvin, indicted last month with two women described by police as topless dancers, said:

"There have been all kinds of blackmail attempts on me and my family. (But) I'm not blaming anybody for my situation. I shouldn't have been in that room"--the motel where police arrested him March 4.

I'm not sure how you can read that and say it's remotely the same as the hill situation.

No one has shown they extorted or blackmailed him.

ROFL

Go back and apply your same "logic" to most everything you said in all the Tyreek Hill threads. Take note of the results and the cluelss - contrarian -by - choice pattern. Don't waste this teachable moment.

When is that FBI investigation ending? And where's the Tyreek contract that Marty said was close to being signed and all that was remaining was a few details?

The FBI does not comment on active investigations.

Other than when they told you guys and only you guys that they were investigating Chrystal. Gotcha.

This is actually false...multiple parties have received information that the feds were in on this...including the guy who was in direct contact with Tyreek's legal team, who posts here.

Let it go...

I mean it was posted for everyone to see....that guy isn't in cahoots with us, Marty doesn't even post here anymore.

You, and everyone like you has been willfully obtuse through this whole thing and continue to be.

And no idea what the rest of your post meant.

And tyreek should fire whoever on his legal team that's leaking information about active FBI investigations to random chiefs forum members

Most of Marty's assertions are backed up by another CP poster with inside information whose name we will not mention out of privacy, and he was the actual first one to tell us what was really going on.
