A group of former and current NHL players has sued real estate develop Ken Jowdy. Unfortunately, their money was blown on hookers and booze — by somebody else. They allege that their investments, meant for a golf course, were squandered by Jowdy. Jowdy, the head of Legacy Properties, allegedly blew the cash on parties with strippers and porn stars as well as giving people high-paying jobs as “favors”.

Interestingly enough, the NHL players’ money was spent with former MLB players. Joe Morgan denies being involved, but he’s one of Jowdy’s fishing buddies. Similarly, Jowdy is mentioned as a work out partner of Brian McNamee in a 2007 Sports Illustrated article about Roger Clemens.
I think the most interesting aspect of this story is the way NHL and MLB personalities are involved on opposite sides. It also forces me to mention (again) the excellent Sports Illustrated article on athletes and their poor investments that destroy their fortunes. Hey, at least it’s not as bad as Torii Hunter investing $70K in “inflammable rafts” (aren’t rafts primarily used in water?).
The other interesting part is… Ken Jowdy. He got NHL players to give him hundreds of thousands of dollars. He knows a lot of baseball personalities. He was hanging out with Brian McNamee back in 2007. He associates Hal Sutton and Phil Mickelson with his projects. He sources hookers, strippers, and porn stars for parties. Who is this guy? Below is a round up of facts relevant to the case.
