A hearing date has been set for Ted DiBiase Jr. for 8/14, a status conference before the Mississippi Southern District Court, according to a report confirmed by PWInsider.
The motion was filed last month by the United States government, which stated that “additional time is needed by both sides to review the case and prepare for trial or negotiate a plea.”
The former WWE star was previously set to stand trial on 6/20 after his arrest in April for a number of charges largely revolving around fraud, in addition to conspiracy to commit theft concerning programs receiving federal funds and even money laundering.
The hearing set for 8/14 will likely set a new timeline for the tiral.
This marks the latest update on a situation previously reported in regards to DiBiase and companies he was in control of essentially stealing funds through sham contracts.
