Boris Becker Sentenced to 2.5 Years

Remember the once-great Boris Becker?

He was atop the tennis world, raking in millions in tournament winnings and sponsorships.

Well, the bottom fell out in 2017 when he filed for bankruptcy, but it gets far worse now.

Can’t Do That

In 2017, Becker filed for bankruptcy, only he was not exactly forthright about his assets when doing so.

According to reports, he hid assets and transferred large sums of money out of his accounts.

Judge Deborah Taylor found Becker guilty, and now he gets to spend two and a half years behind bars.

Becker is a former number one ranked tennis player, having won six major tournaments.

Any of those wins would have given most of us enough to live off for the first of our lives, yet he somehow managed to squander it all.

Becker stood up against a maximum sentence of seven years, but his attorney pleaded for leniency, stating, “This defendant has now lost literally everything.

“He has already paid an extremely heavy price for his mishandling of his financial affairs but also as a result of his offending, he will lose any interest in any other property or assets he has.”

Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
