Former Oregon Ducks wide receiver Cameron Colvin has been arrested by the FBI on federal fraud charges, according to a report from Sportico.com. Daniel Libit reported that Colvin, who played for Oregon from 2004 through 2007, was arrested Thursday morning and charged with fraud and transactional money laundering. Libit reported that a nine-page federal indictment, filed on Oct. 21, accused Colvin of “defrauding individuals of more than $1.25 million through purported investment opportunities and personal relationships, including with women he was romantically involved with.” Colvin overcame childhood tragedy to become a star football player at De La Salle High School in Concord, Calif. His parents died during his teen years and never saw him sign with Oregon in 2004 as a five-star recruit or play for the Ducks. After an unsuccessful attempt to establish an NFL career, Colvin entered the real estate world, later starting CamCo Commercial Inc. in Nevada. Sportico reported in August that the FBI was investigating Colvin for alleged investment fraud schemes. According to the Sportico report, Colvin has been sued for fraud numerous times by former employees, business partners and romantic partners.
