2025 scUM Shenanigans, Arguments, etc.

I ask myself what they want to accomplish first and foremost. What is the real job to be done.

Have the public at large think "I am not going to place a bet because this shit is fixed" or have potential cheaters say "screw that, the reward isn't worth the risk"?

A lot more money involved by the former than the latter.

People are always thinking, or claiming to think at least, that sports are fixed (e.g., Mahomes), and there have been point shaving and other fixing scandals in the past without it stopping people from betting. We live in a society where people generally think that everything is fixed/rigged, and we've now normalized sports betting to the point that nothing will stop it, or even slow it down, especially given how many people are addicted to it.

Something I haven't even seen mentioned yet is how Weiss' hacking impacts HIPAA laws. If 150,000 athlete's injury status were breached, then it seems like a clear and egregious violation. Perhaps this will be pursued against Weiss, Keffer Development Services and the university if Weiss is found guilty under the current FBI indictment?

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a federal law that establishes standards for protecting the privacy and security of protected health information (PHI). It mandates that healthcare providers, insurers, and other organizations handling patient data implement safeguards to prevent unauthorized access or misuse of sensitive information.

HIPAA violations can result in both civil and criminal penalties, ranging from fines of $100 to $50,000 per violation, with annual maximums depending on the severity and type of violation, and potentially including imprisonment.

Fair point-let me rephrase "people think it's fixed to the point they won't gamble"

I suspect that such a point might not exist for a lot of gamblers and is pretty far away for a lot more, but the folks with the vested interest in keeping people gambling may well disagree and I'm sure have a bunch of research in the can on just how much distrust can be allowed before it starts meaningfully affecting profits.

Is DFBIA demanding "Fax and Evidents" yet? Their level of denial/righteous indignation is right there with The Cult during the whole Sandusky investigation 15 years ago.

Just sayin': I can't believe that a player would voluntarily turn over his NIL money to a low level employee running a "clandestine cheating scheme." In addition, a booster probably wouldn't give Corum a NIL deal with the condition that he funnels Stalions some of the money either. The booster (like Uncle T) would want the illegal funding to be a "low key" as possible and he'd just hand Stallions the cash "under the table" so it couldn't be as easily traced.

Hence Stalions booming vacuum business.

He didn’t give a fuck about vacuums.

IMO (and again maybe I’m wrong but it’s my guess) he used a fake company (and based off his stellar vacuum work reviews I’d say there’s credibility for this) where people gave money to. Laundering first step would be to find a way to place the money which is often to a “legit” business. From there move the money (maybe this is where the LLC comes into play) which layers the money. Then from there who knows where the money goes or if they layer further but then the integration where the money is now cleanly available to them.

It’s simple either Blake Corum knew or Connor committed a felony so which is it and why haven’t they had to answer for that?

Either way it’s hard to know but what I do know being in this world for a profession (financial crimes). If you’re opening LLCs in tax haven states (or states where you can hide your identity) with people who aren’t “aware” you’d probably want to find out what that business is up to because clearly at a minimum their Know Your Customer and due diligence apparently was a lie.

Red flags all over the damn place and this hasn’t even been brought up in all of this mess. IMO it’s the one part of all this that’s serious enough to land people in jail.

The problem is that Connor is such a zealot that he would fall on the sword to protect "my precious". Along with a host of other SCUM boosters taking care of him afterwards ....

Given the explosion in gambling and epidemic of compulsive gambling, I don't think losing customers is a problem. In fact the rigorous legal rogering of an institution as powerful as tsun would be a reassurance to the gambling population.

I ask myself what they want to accomplish first and foremost. What is the real job to be done.

I think it's very easy to know. If Stallions falsified Corum's name on the llc paperwork, Corum's lawyers, business manager and NFL team would have forced him to file the complaint. He didn't file the complaint because he did know and to falsify that complaint would then be a felony.

It's an effort thing.

If you make me think at all, only bad things can happen (I might not buy your good/service) so said another way, pure risk.

If I have to stop and process the information of the gambling industry hammering tsun, now I'm thinking and even if its a small chance, nothing good can come from that for them.

If it's never in the public domain, then said explosion of gambling and the compulsive degenerates that come along with it, will flow as they have been.

Some new posts by premierdrum, apparently Weiss had been corresponding with scUM insiders:

"I definitely wouldn’t say that I specialize in analytics, I specialize in coaching football. At the same time, I love good ideas and I love the culture of teaching and learning. John Harbaugh is like that too. I wouldn’t say he specializes in analytics either but that’s something for sure we’re looking to bring here and do more of here. There’s a great untapped resource here which is the players and the coaches aren’t the only talented people here. We have a student body that is really smart and really talented with computer science majors, math majors, a lot of people want to work in sports. There’s ways we can tap into that. Certainly, something that not every college certainly has. The way we’re doing that, we have friends in the NFL who can project manage for us because they’re friends but they also want access to students to do their own projects. There’re already people on campus who are doing a lot of this stuff... Whether it’s fourth-down decision making or looking at trends in college football or looking at recruiting analytics in who we should be going after and maybe who we shouldn’t. All those things are possible. It’ll be fun to see where it goes."

Ope.

"I just felt like I had a chance to do something special here. I think any time in life, in your (personal) life or in your life professionally, it’s always good to get out of your comfort zone. Challenge yourself and do something different. I’ve been in Baltimore a long time. 12 years, if you can believe that. It’s kind of an on-and-off conversation with Jim. John was definitely understanding of it, he wants Michigan to be great too. He kind of didn’t want me to go but, at the same time, he could see the opportunity that could be there for me and felt like helping Jim out was a good thing, too. It all worked out for everybody involved."

Some more details of what was recovered from Weiss's confiscated devices:

Thousands of intimate images found in hacking investigation of former NFL and Michigan coach

Investigators have seized thousands of intimate photos and videos from a former Baltimore Ravens and University of Michigan assistant football coach who is charged with hacking into the computer accounts of college athletes, the U.S. Justice Department told victims.

The disclosure came in a court filing Tuesday in a lawsuit against Matt Weiss and the university. Lawyers for victims included an email that was sent by the government after he was indicted in March.

"Thousands of candid, intimate photographs and videos have been seized from the defendant’s electronic devices and from his cloud storage accounts. Many show victims naked. Some show victims engaged in explicit sexual acts,” the Justice Department's Mega Victim Case Assistance Program said.
