JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – WWE legend “Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase spoke on the “Going Ringside” podcast about the investigation into his family. Specifically, his son Ted “Teddy” DiBiase Jr. who was recently indicted on federal fraud charges in Mississippi. That indictment was detailed in-depth in Episode 9 of “Going Ringside.”
“We’re doing good,” said DiBiase. “And all of that is a bunch of garbage. I’m not at liberty to talk about it but you know it’s kind of like they’re looking for a scapegoat.”
DiBiase said his famous name made his family a target for federal investigators.
“We’re caught in the middle of it. If I didn’t have a celebrity name they wouldn’t even be looking at me,” DiBiase said.
