Marty Tirrell, the once-famous “Mouth of the Midwest” from sports radio, just got nailed with an 11-count wire fraud conviction after swindling $1.5 million from four victims through a fake ticket-flipping scheme. While still on supervised release from a prior fraud conviction, he diverted the cash for gambling and personal gains, even faking documents to keep investors fooled. Facing up to 20 years per count — a possible 220 years total — this case exposes how even public figures can fall prey to greed, with serious consequences when the scam gets exposed.
