NFL linebacker Mychal Kendricks will be sentenced soon in the Third Circuit for his 2014 insider trading.

Back on Aug. 28, 2018, both the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Department of Justice announced insider trading charges against a former Goldman Sachs analyst and his tippee, the 27-year old Kendricks, a Super Bowl-winning player. It was alleged that Kendricks traded on advance news of the acquisitions of four publicly traded companies. The tips were allegedly imparted to the NFL star via coded text messages in exchange for a variety of unconventional kickbacks, earning Kendricks approximately $1.2 million.
