Phil Mickelson's money tied to money laundering case: report

Phil Mickelson may have more explaining to do after a report by ESPN’s “Outside the Lines” named him as the bettor whose $2.75 million led a former handicapper to plead guilty to three federal counts of money laundering.

Although Mickelson is apparently not under investigation and has not been charged with any crime, “Outside the Lines” is citing two sources that say the five-time major winner used Gregory Silveira of La Quinta, Calif., as a conduit to place bets on sporting events with an illegal offshore gambling operation.

Why people who make so much money invest money with people they don't know is beyond me.Take a page from Floyd Merriweather's book and keep all your money in savings,he has like 150 million in it.

731-Floyd gambles nearly every day. Loses a lot of the time. He'ss had leins put on fight purses for years(he tends to forget to pay taxes). He's had multiple properties and vehicles foreclosed on and repossessed. Trust me, he'll be this generation's Mike Tyson. Broke in a hurry.
