Former Arizona Cardinals general manager Steve Keim says he was a victim of an alleged investment scheme run by Mohamed Coulibaly, a 24-year-old entrepreneur found dead in a New Jersey swimming pool on July 31. Keim says he is linked to the matter through an executive listing tied to “Motion Venture,” but he disputes receiving any payment from the operation.
Keim tells ESPN he received no compensation and that he lost “seven figures” in the alleged scheme. The reports also note that multiple former NFL players are seeking to recover hundreds of thousands of dollars connected to the same effort. The outlets differ mainly in framing: one emphasizes Keim’s claim of victimhood and the purported targeting of NFL players, while the other reiterates the central allegation that Coulibaly’s investment scam involved Keim. Both accounts describe Keim’s losses and his denial of benefiting from the arrangement.
