DeAndre Baker is done - Evidence shows he paid witnesses

Giants in 07 : 7/10/2020 7:37 pm
Investigators have Instagram messages and video evidence of a payoff cover-up in the Baker and Dunbar case.

More in the link below

If this is true, he's not only an ex-Giant soon enough, but prison bound.

Take a look at the players we could have picked at our original spot in the second round before trading up for Baker.

“done” yet - call me crazy but I’m not trusting shit from Pat Leonard. We all thought he was “done” when the story first broke, and now everyone seems to still be judging based on a Pat Leonard article.

Let’s just see how it plays out. IF this is legit then yes he’s probably “done” but again, let’s see.

Baker was a better player. Not something I will lose sleep over. Some people are just morons despite being the upper 1% athletically.

Nobody is siding with Baker. And also, the “facts” aren’t out yet. This could all be conjecture. All this info is coming from Pat Leonard.

I’m not saying the dude is not guilty of anything but can we just fucking wait until there’s an actual ruling, actual news, or actual anything from someone of importance other than a hack beat writer?

Telling people not to jump the gun until all the facts are in is the right course of action no
matter what the facts eventually reveal. So if the mob says fuck me, i am fine with it.

This entire episode has been strange from the beginning.

There were quite a few BBI'ers who did suggest possible payoffs... kudos to those who suggested that scenario.

Again, we have to see what is and what isn't true, but this doesn't look good at all.

Nope, we are still gonna “wait for the facts.”
Let me see if I can summarize this.  
robbieballs2003 : 7/10/2020 8:19 pm : link
There was a high stakes Madden game with NFL players.

Someone felt they were being cheated and pulled back their money.

This led to an armed robbery.

The cops were called.

There was a warrant issued for Dunbar and Baker.

During that time "Coach" got all parties to agree to agree to a payoff. Change your statement and receive money.

The transactions took place at the lawyer's office building (was this Dunbar's lawyer?)

Someone left a cell phone that was obtained by the cops.

Coach posted on Instagram he paid off these people to change their statements.

This phenomenon is so odd. I’ve got no problem getting rid of him if all this is true. But the victory lap says a lot more about you guys than it does about me. If he did it he’s a piece of shit, what more would you like?

So, congrats that Baker robbing someone happened?

Not the first time this has happened. What’s surprising is that it was put in “writing” and that the evidence was uncovered.

The case against Giants cornerback Deandre Baker and Seahawks cornerback Quinton Dunbar does not appear to be going away as quickly as their lawyers have predicted for weeks. In fact, things now appear even more complicated for the players.

A warrant obtained by Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News cites evidence, including video footage and direct messages, that allegedly show witness Dominic Johnson oversaw payoffs of the four alleged victims at the office of Dunbar’s attorney, Michael Grieco.

Baker and Dunbar stand accused of taking cash and expensive jewelry at gunpoint from other attendees at a May 13 house party in Miramar, Florida.

Johnson, the witness referred to as “Coach” in the original arrest warrant, allegedly wrote a series of incriminating direct messages on his Instagram account, @powerballnick_305, on May 16, per Leonard. Johnson corroborates “a robbery had occurred and those who were charged were the participants,” the warrant summarizes.

The four victims said they were paid a total of $55,000 to recant their sworn initial statements against Dunbar. Alleged direct messages between Baker and Johnson on Instagram implicate Baker in the payoff, Miramar police detective Mark Moretti revealed in the latest warrant.

“Johnson is telling Baker to come to Dunbar Lawyer’s office,” Moretti writes, via Leonard. “Baker replied, ‘Yo I’m in the city now getting cash how much to bring ?? I’m tryna get there too u ASAP.’”

“There appears to be several phone calls between Baker and Johnson,” the warrant continues. “Johnson appears to be nervous by telling Baker, ‘Yooooo these people finna leave.’”

CCTV video evidence shows Grieco, Johnson, an unknown individual and the four alleged victims at the attorney’s office on May 15 appearing to make the payoff, according to Leonard.

“On 5/15/20, I was contacted by Michael Grieco, attorney for Dunbar, stating the victims and witness have recanted their sworn/recorded statements against Dunbar,” the warrant reads. “However, I also want the court to be aware that all five individuals have been threatened and have expressed extreme concern to me regarding their safety. One of the individual(s) was forced to move out of his apartment. The other was receiving texted messages containing pictures of his passport, the same passport that was stolen during the robbery.”

Baker, 22, and Dunbar, 27, were taken into custody May 16 and spent the night in the Broward County Jail before being released on $200,000 and $100,000 bond, respectively.

Baker pleaded not guilty to four counts of armed robbery with a firearm and four counts of aggravated assault with a firearm, and Dunbar has pleaded not guilty to four counts of armed robbery with a firearm.
