Missouri AG Probes Matt Miller After 26 Fraud Complaints and $51,000 GoFundMe Pause

3 articles · Updated · First Alert 4 · Jul 15

Summary

  • Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway said her office opened a likely lengthy investigation after receiving 26 complaints alleging Matt Miller took payments for fantasy leagues, scouting lessons and camps without delivering the promised product.
  • June 17 set the backdrop: Miller was seriously injured when his Ford Bronco crossed the center line on Route 96 in Jasper County and hit a semi, later saying he lost his left arm.
  • More than $51,000 was raised through a GoFundMe for Miller's medical costs, but the fundraiser was paused as complaints spread online; Hanaway said the GoFundMe itself is not under investigation.
  • July 10, Miller said on X he was stepping away indefinitely and would be placed on leave from ESPN to focus on recovery, and he has not publicly answered the fraud allegations.
  • Missouri's AG is urging anyone who believes they were misled to contact the office, signaling the case could widen beyond the initial complaints.
