More than 35 women come forward against man accused of posing as San Francisco 49ers player to commit fraud

Saturday, 19 September 2026, 06:37 · 1 min read

The FBI has announced that at least 35 additional women have come forward with allegations against Daejon Love, a man previously accused of impersonating a San Francisco 49ers (an American professional football team) player and wealthy investor to defraud victims out of $1.3 million. Love, 35, and alleged accomplice Taylor Chan, 18 — who posed as his financial adviser — were arrested in August and charged with wire fraud after allegedly using AI-generated fake identities, fabricated investment accounts, and staged video calls to deceive women across California, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon. At a press conference, Portland FBI special agent Douglas Olson condemned mockery of the victims, noting that many had been pressured into taking out personal loans and making life-changing financial decisions before being abruptly cut off, losing both their savings and their sense of security.
