The Mississippi welfare fraud case has also named NFL Hall of Famer Brett Favre.
Ted DiBiase Jr., the son of Ted "The Million Dollar Man" DiBiase Sr., been charged with misappropriating millions in federal safety-net funds for needy families in Mississippi, according to a federal indictment that was unsealed on Thursday.
In an official release, the Department of Justice stated that federal funds, which came from the Emergency Food Assistance Program and the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, among others, were directed to Webb’s and New’s organizations by Davis’ MDHS as subgrants. "DiBiase is charged with one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and to commit theft concerning programs receiving federal funds, six counts of wire fraud, two counts of theft concerning programs receiving federal funds, and four counts of money laundering," the statement read.
In 1999, DiBiase Sr. founded the "Heart of Davis Ministry," as he is currently a Christian minister. In February 2020, reports stated that the ministry received more than $2.1 million in welfare funds from the state of Mississippi following his son, Brett’s, hiring as the deputy administrator of the state Department of Human Services. A court later in October 2022 ordered DiBiase Sr. to pay $722,299 in misappropriated funds.
