Nevin Shapiro, a University of Miami booster, convicted of running a $930 million Ponzi scheme through Capitol Investments and provided impermissible benefits to 72 Miami athletes from 2002 to 2010. Players received cash, cars, jewelry, yacht trips, and illicit favors, fueling a lavish culture during the football program's peak years.
