Trent Richardson recently spoke to ESPN for an E60 interview that aired after his release from the Ravens, and he revealed some details as to how his family took advantage of his NFL money.
In the feature, the former Alabama star explained how family and friends went through $1.6 million of his money in a 10-month span. He apparently was oblivious to the fact that they were spending cash until he looked at his bank account.
"I finally just looked at my bank statement, and I was just like, 'Where did this come from? Where did that come from?'" Richardson said. "And my guy was sitting there telling me, 'Man, we was telling you.' I know he was telling me, but that's just like telling a kid to stop running in the hall. They're going to still do it when you turn your back or you leave. It's just one of them moments to where I was just blinded by my heart, by loving everybody and thinking that everyone was for me. I know they love me. I know they do care. But at the time, they took advantage of it."

So how were family and friends spending the money? They apparently had a huge desire to catch up on the latest "House of Cards" episodes, because Richardson found out he was paying for 11 Netflix accounts and eight Hulu accounts.
Also showing up on his bank statements was bottle service at nightclubs, which stood out to Richardson because he doesn't drink.
"Y'all are trying to live a lifestyle that I'm not even living," Richardson said he told his friends and relatives. "Y'all are living the lifestyle that y'all think I should be living."
Despite the significant financial loss, Richardson says he's fine right now and can support his family. It was a hard lesson to learn, but he's not as loose with his bank account now.
And as for his football career, Richardson isn't giving up.
"I can't let this beat me," he said. "I'm going to keep on fighting."

Id expect this from some leech ass dudes around you cause you paid, but you dont have a pops or uncle to school you about making sure you watch every penny that comes out of your bank account, expensive lesson.

How I feel about the people spending his money and him knowing about it but doing nothing about it.
The only thing that matters out of this whole story Richardson says he's fine right now and can support his family. -
I hope he bounces back. But honestly, I don't think an NFL team will sign him. He might as well try for the CFL. Obviously you ain't making nearly as much, but currently, he has no choice at this point.

aint this what ballers is about?

"Friends"

Don't forget he just caught that DV charge in February. His playing days are done. A CFL team might not want him after that charge.

they ain't miss it...
they ignored it....because they dont want to seem like money changed "them".
and they would be different cuz they got real friends.
can't trust no one but yourself when millions are involved. -
Wouldnt nobody have access to my money. If they need help they could come to me directly and then they could get the help.
If i was rich, of course. -
