Darren McCarty

Darren McCarty is a retired Canadian ice hockey player who is best known for his years playing for the Detroit Red Wings, for which he won four Stanley Cups. He played as the enforcer for most of his career, and he was known to be a physical player on the ice. Despite his presence and toughness on the ice, McCarty wasn’t completely invincible from fraudulent business transactions.

He lost money through his business partner, who took out a $3 million personal loanin his name. His partner allegedly took it out of McCarty’s personal savings account and even went as far as forging his name on a $650,000 check. It’s certainly troubling that the athlete experienced this from his business partner, whom he must have really trusted. Nonetheless, it’s an unfortunate situation as the amount that is in question here is certainly no chump change!
