Man Accused of Scamming Ex-NFL Players, Including UGA Star, Found Dead

Authorities are investigating the death of Mohamed Coulibaly, whose alleged scam targeted NFL players and reportedly netted more than $1 million from victims.

  • Police discovered the body of 24-year-old Mohamed Coulibaly on Friday in a swimming pool in Harrison Township, New Jersey, following a welfare check after his family expressed concerns.
  • Barron's reported last month that Coulibaly allegedly organized a scheme targeting professional athletes, convincing them to buy stakes in fake online stores despite denying wrongdoing.
  • Three former NFL players collectively lost more than $1 million in investments linked to Coulibaly, including former New York Giants linebacker Tae Crowder, who invested roughly $500,000.
  • "I don't want anybody else to get involved in anything like this," Crowder said, recalling daily investment discussions with Coulibaly before discovering the stores were fraudulent.
  • Authorities are investigating the death, though no cause has been announced; the circumstances surrounding Coulibaly's death remain unclear and sketchy.
