ATLANTA (AP) — A hedge fund manager accused of disappearing with millions of dollars belonging to at least 500 investors — including current and former NFL players — now faces 24 additional counts in his federal fraud case.

Last week, seven current and former NFL players sued the league and its union in U.S. District Court to recover $20 million, claiming the union endorsed Wright’s services even though its manager had liens against him.
