Former Arizona Cardinals general manager Steve Keim<\/a>‘s connection to Mohamed Coulibaly<\/a> is being revisited after the alleged scam artist’s death earlier this month … but the ex-NFL exec is adamant he’s a victim.<\/p>\n

As we previously reported, cops found<\/a> Coulibaly’s body in a residential pool in New Jersey after his family called for a welfare check. The matter is currently under investigation.<\/p>\n

Prior to his death, Coulibaly was accused of targeting former NFL players for investments in bogus e-commerce businesses … although he partly denied the allegations made against him.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In the original Barron’s report, Coulibaly’s Motion Ventures allegedly inserted fake sales to the online shops to make them look more successful … and Keim was at one point listed as the company’s chief operation\/growth officer with a hands-on position.<\/p>\n

Keim told ESPN he did, in fact, work with Coulibaly without earning a salary … and was led to believe the company was legit, so he introduced the investment opportunity to friends and family — one of them being Seattle Seahawks GM John Schneider.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Keim claimed he actually lost more than a million dollars from his own investment … and his name was used to legitimize the business.<\/p>\n

In fact, the ex-exec claimed he had his own concerns about the business prior to Coulibaly’s death … and ultimately apologized to investors.<\/p>\n

NFL names like Jalen Carter<\/a>, Nakobe Dean, Tae Crowder, Matt Breida, Terrell Edmunds and Schneider were reportedly impacted by the alleged scam.<\/p>\n

Keim has since lawyered up, according to Arizona Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s not the only issue Keim is dealing with at the moment — in a since-deleted post, former Cardinals receiver DeAndre Hopkins<\/a> reportedly accused him of a PED test setup … resulting in a $5.2 million salary loss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ex-NFL GM Steve Keim Linked To Dead Alleged Scammer … I’m A Victim!!!
