Harriet Ryan

He lives in LA.

He owns a tire shop.

He made a lot of money and he loves sports and betting on sports.

And he just got really involved in supporting high school football.

And he just said that like, look, it's not illegal.

It violates interscholastic rules for the kids, but it's not illegal.

And I enjoy it.

I enjoyed building a team.

I enjoyed the competitive element to it.

And he said that, you know, over a series of years, he paid millions of dollars to hundreds of families.

Some of those kids he played, they're now adults playing in the NFL.

Philip had always been, like, an A and B student, according to his dad and court records.

And he got to L.A.

and he was failing all of his classes.

And there were text messages he sends to his grandma where he's just like, oh, my gosh, like, I'm failing everything.

And she's like, look, we're going to get you a tutor.

We can get a relative to tutor you.

And, you know, let me come get you this weekend.

And he's like, I got to go out on 77 tournament.

Like, his life just became about football.
