This seems like a load of bull****.
How much were these payments? And they were made in 2022? Somebody wants to investigate a couple of friendly wagers on sports games between friends? Games neither person had any involvement in? This doesn’t seem like online sports gambling or walking into a casino and throwing down some money.
This seems a little more than a nobody sports writer, if that’s what you want to call an Internet troll. Why is somebody going through someone’s Venmo transactions from three years ago? Was Mateer under investigation for something else and these payments happened to be noticed? How did all this bull**** start?
What’s next? Someone has their reputation stained because they bet who is picking up the tab while watching a football game at the local bar? Oh no, were they drinking? What were they drinking? Why were they drinking? Were they of legal age to be drinking? Is the bar owned by the mob?
