At 16, Brian Banks was one of the best high school linebackers in America. USC had offered him a full scholarship. Pete Carroll personally called him.
One afternoon at school he made out with a classmate. Consensual. By the end of the day he was in jail, charged with kidnapping and rape.
She said he dragged her into a stairwell. It never happened.
The DNA came back negative. His mother sold her house and her car to pay for a lawyer.
He couldn’t make bail. He spent a year behind bars waiting for trial.
His lawyer told him: plead no contest, or risk 41 years in prison. He was 17. He took the deal.
He did 5 years in prison. Then 5 more on parole. Registered sex offender. GPS monitor on his ankle. Couldn’t go near schools or parks. No one would hire him.
Meanwhile, the girl and her mother sued the school district for not keeping her safe. They won $1.5 million.
In 2011, a Facebook friend request popped up on his screen.
It was her.
She wanted to “let bygones be bygones.”
Brian went to a private investigator. They hid cameras in the office and invited her to talk. She came by bus.
On tape, she admitted it. He never raped her. He never kidnapped her.
Then she said she still wouldn’t tell prosecutors the truth. Because she’d have to give back the money.
In May 2012, a judge cleared his name. The hearing took less than a minute.
10 years of his life. Gone in one lie. Erased in 60 seconds.
A few days later his phone rang. “I’m looking for a linebacker. You know where I can find one?”
It was Pete Carroll. The same coach who recruited him 10 years earlier.
He finally signed with the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons. At 27. The dream he had at 16.
She was ordered to pay $2.6 million back.
What should happen to someone who steals 10 years of your life with one lie?

A man bet $110 on an NFL game and thought he had turned it into $82,610. FanDuel refused to pay, blamed a technical glitch, and offered him $500 and tickets to three New York Giants games instead.
– Anthony Prince from Newark, New Jersey, was watching the Denver Broncos play the Oakland Raiders in September 2018.
– With just over a minute left, the Broncos were trailing 19-17 but had moved into range of a potential game-winning field goal.
– FanDuel was updating its live betting odds as the game unfolded.
– But something went wrong.
– For approximately 18 seconds, FanDuel’s system displayed the Broncos at 750-to-1 odds to win the game.
– Prince spotted the odds and placed a $110 bet on Denver.
– At those odds, his betting ticket showed a potential payout of $82,610.
– Other bettors reportedly managed to place similar bets during the same brief window.
– Then the Broncos kicked a field goal with six seconds remaining and won the game 20-19.
– Prince had picked the winning team. He went to collect his money.
– But FanDuel refused to honor the $82,610 payout, saying a technical error had generated incorrect odds.
– According to FanDuel, the Broncos should have been heavy favorites at that point, not 750-to-1 underdogs.
– Instead of paying the amount printed on his ticket, the company offered Prince around $500 and tickets to three Giants games.
– Prince rejected the offer and said he planned to get a lawyer involved.
– New Jersey gambling regulators began examining the incident, raising questions about how the sportsbook’s system had produced such wildly incorrect odds.
– With prediction markets, payouts are governed by the contracts traders agree to and the rules for resolving them.
– FanDuel initially stood by its decision, arguing that its rules allowed it to correct obvious pricing errors.
– But the story attracted widespread media attention, and the company consulted with state gambling regulators.
– On September 20, FanDuel reversed its decision and announced it would pay Prince the full amount, along with other customers affected by the same glitch.
– The company acknowledged that the error had spoiled the experience for its customers and said it would honor the erroneous tickets.
He risked $110 and appeared to win $82,610 in the final seconds of an NFL game. FanDuel blamed a glitch and offered him $500 and football tickets instead. But after regulators got involved and the story made headlines, the company changed its mind and agreed to pay him the full amount.
