Several prominent NFL players have filed suit against Branch Banking and Trust BBT, a North Carolina-based bank that has apparently cost 16 players near a collective $60 million.
Among those in suit is the recently retired Ray Lewis ($3.7 million) and All-Pro San Francisco 49er Frank Gore ($8.7 million), along with 14 other current and inactive NFL players.
The failed casino project accounts for about half of the $60 million.
Former New York Yankees pitcher Jared Wright was the latest athlete to file suit against SunTrust STI Bank, CSI Capital Management and the accounting firm Taylor & Faust for fraud, misrepresentation, negligence and other wrongful conduct, and is seeking to recover $7.5 million.
