According to Ian Rapoport of the Boston Herald, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant is in another legal mess. This time it’s with a New York-based micro-finance-company called Endurance Capital Fund.
Bryant allegedly borrowed $100,000 and has refused to pay the full amount owed. He still owes $50,000 and the debt is now over a year old.
This isn’t the first time that Bryant has been involved with legal problems that stem from money problems. He owed $800,000 in two lawsuits earlier in the year.
ECF helps athletes and entertainers purchase luxury items such as, yachts, cars, houses, etc. They’re in the midst of trying to serve Bryant with a lawsuit, but it seems he’s been able to evade the process servers in Texas.
ECF provided the following statement to Rapoport.
“This was a simple transaction with a loan agreement and promissory note reviewed by Mr. Bryant’s advisors and signed by Mr. Bryant. We held up our side of the bargain, now we are simply asking that Mr. Bryant follow through with what he promised to do.
We have reached out to everybody from Mr. Bryant’s agent to his mortgage broker to try to get this debt repaid. Everyone acknowledges the debt, but nobody will come forward to repay it. This is a unique and disappointing experience. We have never had a client refuse to repay their debt before.”
