His scam business went under, so now he needs the money.

He was actually quite good until he tore his ACL... After, he never found back to his previous level.

Agreed. Pro Bowl caliber type player (or close) before that.

Basically people paid him to open packs of Pokemon cards on a stream and the payor would keep valuable cards that happened to be in there (yes, this is a thing). Blake and his crew would basically screw the people by taking the most valuable cards out (out of sight of the stream) and giving them trash.

I didn't follow the story closely. How did he not get in actual real trouble for fraud with that?

Damages for each individual too low? Plaintiffs are majority minors and don't know how to pursue any legal rights? Probably a number of factors. Easier to get away with ripping off 100 people for $100 than 1 person for $10,000.
