Yeah, happened while he was a minor. Did they wait for him to reach legal age before arresting him? or did it take many yrs for the authorities to finish the investigation?minor
All told, the gambling on his FanDuel account amounted to 8,927 wagers totaling more than $600,000 over two years, arrest documents say.
Boutte was booked in Baton Rouge on a felony count of computer fraud and a misdemeanor count of gaming prohibited by persons under 21.
Arrest documents say that, on April 5, 2022, while still a player at LSU, Boutte opened a FanDuel account with his mother's credit card, using another person’s name and birthday.
In January, the account, which had the username “Kayshonboutte01,” began to receive several deposits from that card, as well as hundreds of deposits from another credit card that listed Boutte as the payer, according to an affidavit.
After Boutte opened a new account in Massachusetts in June under his own name, the company traced the credit card associated with it to the first account, the affidavit says, noting that Boutte turned 21 on May 7, 2023, therefore “making any wager placed by him prior to that date illegal.”
FanDuel provided State Police with a complete history of the first account’s nearly 9,000 wagers that spanned April 2022 to May 2023. Over two years, $637,537 was wagered from the account, with $556,272 won.
Seventeen of the bets were on college football games, and six involved LSU football.
Boutte bet that he would score a touchdown and gain at least 82.5 yards against Florida State in the season opener Sept. 4, 2022. He did neither, recording 20 yards on two catches in a 24-23 loss.
