Anything for the Ring? FBI Catches Tom Brady’s Super Bowl Ring Stealing Thief, Sending Him to Prison For 3 Years

Tom Brady is an icon that sells well in the art market! As a result, Terrific Tom’s name got embroiled in a fraudulent incident. Incidentally, a New Jersey man deceitfully bought and sold NFL GOAT’s Super Bowl rings by posing as a former Patriots player.

However, the art crime team of the FBI caught hold of Scott Spina Jr., the New Jersey man who committed the crime. The court presented him with a three-year prison sentence for his actions. Meanwhile, Spina was ordered to pay a sum of $63,000 to the NFL icon. 

How did Scott Spina cheat customers in the name of Tom Brady?

Spina posed as a former Patriots player in 2017 to buy family versions of the NFL legend’s ring. It was freely available from the official ring company to be bought as gifts for the QB’s relatives. Spina purchased them and sold the rings to an auction house.   

Notably, this happened in 2017, when Spina was 20 years old. He bought a ring from a former Patriots player with a bad check. Later on, sold it to a championship ring broker for $63,000. Spina ordered three more rings, posing as a departed player. Later on, he engraved them with Brady’s name.

The New Jersey man claimed to a broker that these rings were gifts for one of Brady’s kids. The broker initially agreed but later on got suspicious about the deal. So, it got canceled and later on, Spina sold the rings to an auction house for $10,000. Meanwhile, in February 2018, they auctioned one ring for a handsome amount of $337,219. 

Brady and the big brand that invites attention

Spina admitted to his mail fraud and, as a result, the court awarded him with a three-year prison sentence. Meanwhile, this incident also points light on the rising incidents of fraud cases pointed toward NFL athletes. However, the NFL GOAT did not comment on the incident.

A vocal critic who demands personal space and privacy, Brady has often expressed the need for fans and people to follow restraint. Incidentally, it is the fame and glitz of the big brand Brady that often invites such behavior from the public, to which Brady can perhaps do nothing but keep advising to stay in control.
