After a jury found him not guilty in a case surrounding wire fraud, money laundering, and more against the state of Mississippi, Ted DiBiase Jr. posted a statement and video via social media addressing the situation.
The second-generation wrestler, son of WWE Hall of Famer “Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase, faced 13 counts in total stemming from a welfare fraud scandal involving improper use of funds provided by the state government, potentially seeing than 160 years in federal prison if he was found guilty.
On how the situation impacted his life, DiBiase said:
They got it right. And I give all the glory to God. I give all the credit to my lord and savior, to [my legal team]. I think they did an amazing job of portraying the truth.
Seven years of being slandered and made to be something that is completely false has about torn my family apart, but we’re strong. And I’ve had so many friends and so much family that have come around us. And I’m proud that we’ve walked through this. And I’m so thankful that it’s over.
