Oakland Raiders cornerback David Amerson has been caught in an agent scam where over $300,000 was stolen from the former second-round draft pick.

Oakland Raiders cornerback David Amerson has been reported to be the victim of fraud from a former agent who stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from the former second rounder. A scandal that also involves wide receiver Keenan Allen as victims of theft that has ties to North Carolina State, where Amerson played at college before being drafted by Washington in 2013.

Agent Eric Leak, who like Amerson also played for the Wolfpack at NC State, is alleged to have stolen in excess of $300,000 from Amerson alone. Leak stealing the money from the bank account of Amerson in addition to a $100,000 loan that was taken out in Amerson’s name that had to be repaid by the cornerback despite his lack of knowledge on the matter.

WNCN in North Carolina reported the story, claiming they have obtained documents that show that Leak stole money from both Amerson as well as Allen. Funneling money to his own business through the two players.

From Mercury News:

A former North Carolina State football player turned sports agent is accused of stealing thousands of dollars from Raiders cornerback David Amerson and former Cal star Keenan Allen. WNCN in North Carolina reported that documents it obtained show that Eric Leak, who played at North Carolina State from 1997-2000, is alleged to have stolen approximately $300,000 from the bank account of Amerson, a fellow N.C. State product. The warrants obtained also claim that Amerson had to repay a $100,000 loan Leak had taken out without Amerson’s knowledge.

This is an unfortunate story for Amerson, who according to the report has lost a sizable amount of his earnings from being drafted in the second round out of this ordeal. Agents stealing money from NFL players is sadly not a new story, but hopefully Amerson and Allen get the justice they deserve when this saga comes to a conclusion.
