Tom Coughlin turned two threatening letters he received last month from Herbert Alex Simpson over to the NFL, which passed them on to the FBI.
A man said to be from Philadelphia is facing serious prison time. He tried to shakedown NY Football Giants coach Tom Coughlin, claiming that the coach was involved in a sexual scene with two women, the Department of Justice said. The blackmailer was trying to seed revenge against two former co-workers.
According to the US Attorney in the “city of brotherly love,” Herbert Alex Simpson, 30, was charged with criminal illegal use of the US Postal System. Simpson was hoping that authorities would link the mail to his two former co-workers and that they would be blamed and arrested. The targets have not been identified by police or attorneys.
