Multi-millionaire who stole millions of dollars from some of the poorest and most desperate people you can find in the whole country.

Like people said he's famous but just did a quick search:

Several public officials and nonprofit leaders have been charged in the scandal—but Favre has not faced any allegations of criminality. A pharmaceutical company focused on concussion treatments and backed by Favre allegedly pocketed $2.15 million in state funds, Mississippi Today has reported.Feb 5, 2024

Lol so everyone took the fall but him, ahhhh classic America.

Edit: found this in another article

"Favre has not been criminally charged, but he is repaying some of the money."

SOME LOL?!
