San Francisco 49er Impersonator and Accomplice Charged in $1.3 Million Dating App Investment Fraud Scheme

Last month, according to Justice.gov, two men were charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and wire fraud. One of them is Daejon Labrayae Love, who is 35 years old, and the other is Taylor Jamie Chan, who is 18 were charged by a criminal in Portland, Oregon.

Per court documents, both men, in February of 2002, established fictitious investments with the intent to defraud numerous women in the states of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and California. Love met many of them through a dating app, while Chan posed as Love’s financial advisor to gain the women’s trust and legitimize the investment scheme.

They would request funds through lies and misrepresentation and the scheme would last until the two were arrested earlier this year.

The fraud relied on Love creating different personas and him demonstrating a lavish lifestyle, which he presented to the 26 victims in person or online. Love would dishonestly impersonate a wide receiver of the San Francisco 49ers or a real estate investor.

According to financial records both Chan and Love swindled their victims out of $1.3 million during the over four-year scheme. Two were finally apprehended by the authorities at Boise Airport. After learning that Chan would fly from California to Boise, they were able to arrest individuals.

"I have. It was more of a, 'Congrats on a good season!' type of thing," Purdy said when asked by Rich Eisen about his relationship with Haliburton. "[I'm] praying for him, man. After his injury in Game 7, it was tough to watch.

"But, I'm so proud of him. After the playoff run he had, all of us Iowa State guys, we've known that Tyrese had the it-factor going back to college. To see him doing this on a national level, at the highest level, in the NBA, man, it's pretty remarkable. His playoff run, the season he had, I couldn't be any happier for him."

“That's somebody I can really call a friend,” Haliburton said. “To see what he's doing and succeeding the way he is, that's really cool to see, especially being from Iowa State, where it's not a school that's expected to have this much success at the professional level in any sport.

“It's cool to see my brother do well. From the moment that he started out, I was showing him nothing but love.”
