As part of the charges brought to 14 FIFA officials on Wednesday, the Department of Justice released that American Chuck Blazer, a resident of Queens and former FIFA executive, had secretly pled guilty to corruption charges in 2013 and has been working with the DOJ since.

Blazer was a member of the FIFA Executive Committee from 1996 to 2013, when he was replaced by Sunil Gulati. That same year Blazer was accused of taking over $15 million in payments from FIFA over the course of his tenure and was suspended.

According to an incredible report from the New York Daily News from November, what he spent all that money on was truly ridiculous.

Blazer reportedly rented out an entire floor of the Trump Tower, keeping one apartment for his cats. He had a $6,000-a-month cat apartment.

From NY Daily News:

It’s an unexpected end for Blazer, who operated with high-flying impunity for decades, inhabiting a world of private jets, famous friends, secret island getaways, offshore bank accounts and two Trump Tower apartments with sweeping views of Central Park and the crenellations of The Plaza hotel. CONCACAF’s offices took up the entire 17th floor, but Blazer often worked from two apartments where he lived on the 49th floor in $18,000-per-month digs for himself and an adjoining $6,000 retreat largely for his unruly cats, according to a source.

The DOJ investigating FIFA is a good thing, but as a lover of comedy, I will miss the guys who ran this organization.
