Former college basketball player Kerr Kriisa is arrested and indicted in connection with an alleged multimillion-dollar fraud scheme, according to multiple reports. An indictment filed in federal court says the alleged scheme involves money requests carried out under Kriisa’s purported involvement, including posing as other people. The Athletic and CBS Sports report the amount cited in the indictment is $2.2 million. Several outlets say federal authorities—the FBI—arrest Kriisa, with reporting that he is extradited back to Kentucky and faces a scheduled court appearance next week. Other reports place the arrest in Lexington, Kentucky. The reports also note Kriisa’s college background, including stints at Kentucky and Arizona, and that he most recently was associated with the Cincinnati Bearcats. Daily Caller and other sources summarize his playing history across multiple programs. The available reporting centers on the allegations described in the indictment and government claims; it does not provide further case details, legal responses, or outcomes beyond the arrest and indictment.
