The FBI announced on Monday, that 28-year-old Xavier Michael Babudar, aka “ChiefsAholic” was arrested on Friday in California. He was charged in federal court with bank theft and transporting stolen property across state lines. This comes after a joint investigation involving six different FBI branches. Babudar was well-known by Chiefs fans because of the extravagant wolf costume he wore to games and displayed often on social media. Here is some more information on the investigation via the FBI’s Twitter thread: Babudar enjoyed a robust social media presence as a Kansas City Chiefs superfan. He was charged in Tulsa County, OK with the robbery of the Tulsa Teachers Federal Credit Union on Dec. 16, 2022. FBI investigators began reviewing financial records to determine the breadth and scope of additional potential criminal activities. According to an affidavit filed in support of the federal criminal complaint, Babudar purchased and redeemed more than $1 million in chips from various casinos in Missouri, Kansas, and Illinois between April and December 2022. Babudar traveled throughout the Midwest to perpetrate a string of robberies at various banks and credit unions, and he allegedly laundered the robbery proceeds through area casinos and bank accounts, according to the affidavit. Babudar will have his initial court appearance on Friday, July 7 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California in Sacramento, California. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Patrick D. Daly and Stephanie C. Bradshaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
