A new trial date has been set in the Ted DiBiase Jr. criminal case.
Ted DiBiase Jr. was previously charged with “one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and to commit theft concerning programs receiving federal funds, six counts of wire fraud, two counts of theft concerning programs receiving federal funds, and four counts of money laundering.” The former WWE star was indicted and accused of misappropriating federal money for his own personal use, along with several co-conspirators.
Mike Johnson of PWInsider reports that a hearing held before Mississippi Southern District Court Magistrate Judge LaKeysha Greer Isaac led to a new trial date of August 26, 2025. The trial has been delayed multiple times. It had been set for January 7, 2025. Ted DiBiase Jr. was initially set to stand trial in July 2023. However, the ruling judge recused himself, so the case was delayed.
WJTV in Mississippi reports that there had been a discussion that Ted DiBiase Jr. might need to find new representation due to a possible conflict of interest because his attorneys had represented someone involved in the same scandal.
If Ted DiBiase Jr. is convicted, he would face a maximum of five years in prison for the count of conspiracy, as well as a maximium of 20 years for each of the wire fraud counts, and a maximum of 10 years for each count of theft concerning programs receiving federal funds and for each money laundering count.
