Former Giants Star Ingram Faces Prison
Mark Ingram, a star player on the New York Giants 1991 Super Bowl-winning team faces nearly 10 years in prison, when he is sentenced today for bank fraud and money laundering.
In 2005 Ingram pled guilty to laundering money he believed to be proceeds from narcotics deals, as well as bank fraud for cashing counterfeit checks. Federal prosecutors in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and in New York said Ingram cashed more than $300,000 in phony checks and laundered another $200,000.
Although Ingram pleaded guilty nearly three years ago, prosecutors say he has sought to revoke the plea and has hired and fired at least three court-appointed attorneys in that effort.
Ingram is best remembered for his heroics in Super Bowl XV, when he caught a key pass to keep a Giants offensive drive alive en route to a 20-19 victory over the Buffalo Bills.
