Five law firms are accused of siphoning $87 million from the NFL concussion settlement fund; prosecutors are probing allegations of manipulation, payment delays. The lawsuit alleges that the firms altered medical reports to postpone payouts to former players.
Authorities say such tactics undermine the purpose of the settlement, which was designed to compensate athletes for brain injuries. The investigation could prompt the NFL to review its oversight and auditing procedures for the concussion fund.
If the accusations are substantiated, the firms could face hefty fines and possible revocation of their legal licenses.
