49ers insiders offer conflicting jokes about fake player
Leonard Hankerson joined the joke as federal prosecutors said Daejon Love and an alleged accomplice defrauded 26 women of about $1.3 million.
- On August 25, the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Oregon charged 35-year-old Daejon Love with wire fraud for allegedly posing as a San Francisco 49ers player to defraud women.
- Love and 18-year-old accomplice Taylor Jamie Chan allegedly used fabricated investment opportunities and fake account balances to defraud at least 26 victims out of roughly $1.3 million across four states.
- 49ers passing game coordinator Leonard Hankerson jokingly included Love in an Instagram post on August 29, while beat writer Matt Barrows of The Athletic quipped Love was among the team's roster cuts to 53 players.
- The scandal adds to an eventful offseason for the franchise, which has already navigated concerns surrounding head coach Kyle Shanahan and the arrest of owner Jed York in Ohio.
- As Love remains charged in federal court in Portland, Oregon, prosecutors state the FBI believes additional victims may exist beyond the 26 identified women, expanding the investigation's potential scope.
