Mychal Kendricks Indicted on Insider Trading Charges

In one of the weirder-connected stories we’ve seen in awhile, Browns (and former Eagles) linebacker Mychal Kendricks and Black-Ish TV writer Damilare Sonoiki have been indicted by the federal government on insider trading charges. Philly Inquirer reporter Jeremy Roebuck broke the news:

Sonoiki, a Harvard educated former investment banker, was "brazenly" passing along insider information to Kendricks from 2013-2015, US Attorney McSwain says. Heads up on mergers and acquisitions

Kendricks issued a statement admitting his participation in insider trading, and apologizing for it:

Will be interesting to see where this goes from here.
