Travis Kelce has found himself connected to an unexpected federal case away from the football field. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end was identified as one of the victims of an investment fraud scheme that prosecutors said took more than $35 million from investors, with the revelation coming as the man behind the operation received an 11-year prison sentence.

“This is why we do what we do. Seems like a good time to re-up the work of the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud: identifying fraud & protecting Americans. Oh, and it looks like the next draft pick to join the Task Force is @tkelce,” the White House wrote on X on Thursday.

Kelce was named in court as one of the victims of Siddharth Jawahar, a 38-year-old investment manager who operated Texas-based Swiftarc Capital LLC. Jawahar pleaded guilty in January to three counts of wire fraud and was sentenced Tuesday to 11 years in federal prison.

U.S. District Judge Zachary Bluestone also ordered him to pay $31.35 million in restitution, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Missouri.

While Kelce’s name has now been publicly connected to the case, there is still no confirmed figure for how much money he lost. The amount of his investment, when he invested and how much of his money was ultimately recovered have not been disclosed. Kelce was not named in the indictment or judgment, and reports from the sentencing indicated that his name was briefly mentioned among the victims.

The broader case involved 64 victims and more than $35 million in investor money, according to the Associated Press and federal prosecutors. The company took in more than $35 million from investors between July 2016 and December 2023 but invested only about $10 million.

Prosecutors said Jawahar used money from newer investors to repay older investors while also funding an extravagant lifestyle. That included private jet travel, luxury hotels, expensive outings, luxury apartments and memberships at private clubs.

The scheme also centered on a single investment. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Jawahar began putting client funds into Philip Morris Pakistan in 2015, eventually concentrating 99% of client money there. When the investment declined, prosecutors said he failed to tell investors and instead falsely claimed they were making profits.

Jawahar’s conduct after his indictment added another layer to the case. Prosecutors said he tried to coach a victim into giving a favorable statement to the FBI, lied about his immigration status and finances, and attempted to have his sister remotely wipe his iPhone to hide evidence.

An attorney for Jawahar previously described him as a “very good man” who “made some very serious mistakes and is taking ownership of all of it.”

Rep. Sam Graves, R-Mo., had asked the judge to consider a shorter sentence, citing educational programs Jawahar helped establish while incarcerated. The judge ultimately imposed the 11-year sentence, with the Justice Department saying Jawahar’s failure to begin repaying victims was a major factor.

For Kelce, the financial details remain unclear. He has been identified as a victim, but the amount he lost has not been made public. That leaves the full financial impact of the fraud on the Chiefs star unknown.
