Sources: 24. Developments: 2. Mohamed Coulibaly, a 24-year-old accused of orchestrating a multimillion-dollar e-commerce investment scheme, was found dead in a swimming pool at a New Jersey residence on July 31. His death occurred during a welfare check requested by family members. The alleged scheme targeted professional athletes, including current and former NFL players, by selling stakes in Shopify-powered online stores. Investigative reports indicate that sales figures were allegedly “manually input by somebody with access to the backend” to create a false impression of profitability. At least three former NFL players reportedly lost more than $1 million combined, including former New York Giants linebacker Tae Crowder, who invested $500,000. Prior to his death, Coulibaly had denied the allegations, characterizing the situation as a “misunderstanding” caused by a failed acquisition. No criminal charges had been filed against him at the time of his death. The Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office is investigating the circumstances surrounding his passing. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-10: Mohamed Coulibaly found dead amid NFL investment scam allegations Mohamed Coulibaly, accused of orchestrating a multimillion-dollar e-commerce investment scam targeting NFL players, was found dead in a New Jersey swimming pool during a welfare check. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/mohamed-coulibaly-found-dead-amid-nfl-investment-scam-allegations ### 2026-08-06: Mohamed Coulibaly Found Dead in New Jersey Amid NFL Investment Scam Mohamed Coulibaly, accused of running a fake e‑commerce scheme that cost NFL players over $1 million, was found dead in a New Jersey pool; police are investigating the death and the alleged fraud. 21 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/mohamed-coulibaly-accused-of-scamming-nfl-players-found-dead-in-new-jersey --- Cite as: Mohamed Coulibaly death and NFL investment scam.
