Travis Kelce<\/a> knows a thing or two about taking hits … but prosecutors say the Chiefs superstar got walloped off the field too — in a massive Ponzi scheme.<\/p>\n Kelce was named in federal court Tuesday as one of the people burned by Siddharth Jawahar<\/a>, who was sentenced to 11 years in prison for a fraud prosecutors say sucked in more than $35 million from investors.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Jawahar pleaded guilty to three counts of wire fraud and was ordered to pay more than $31 million in restitution.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n According to the feds, Jawahar ran Swiftarc Capital LLC and funneled nearly all of his clients’ money into one investment — Philip Morris Pakistan.<\/p>\n When that bet went south, prosecutors say Jawahar lied to investors about how their money was performing … while using new investor cash to pay earlier clients.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The feds say he also lived large on the money, splurging on private jets, luxury hotels, restaurants, shopping and pricey apartments.<\/p>\n Kelce’s exact losses were not disclosed, and prosecutors made clear he was a victim — not accused of any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n His name had previously been linked to a venture fund, though authorities did not spell out exactly how his investment was tied to Jawahar’s scheme.<\/p>\n As TMZ previously reported, Kelce’s had plenty going on away from football lately … including marrying Taylor Swift<\/a> and dropping millions<\/a> on a lakefront Ohio mansion.<\/p>\n Jawahar, meanwhile, will now spend more than a decade behind bars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Travis Kelce Sacked in Multimillion-Dollar Scam Published September 16, 2026 8:19 AM PDT | Updated September 16, 2026…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":849986,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4,450,451,3,452,453],"class_list":["post-849985","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking-news","tag-breaking-news","tag-breakingnews","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/849985","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=849985"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/849985\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/849986"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=849985"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=849985"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=849985"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"travis](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/7421942ecc554b6fae216f2588d1e1e0_md.jpg\")
