The author of a soon-to-be released book contends golfer Phil Mickelson laundered money through a stockbroker to pay his gambling debts but wound up escaping prosecution.
But Walters, a sports bettor, wrote that Mickelson tapped into the powerful people he knew, including Washington, D.C., attorney Gregory Craig. Walters went to prison in 2017 following a conviction on 10 counts of conspiracy, securities fraud and wire fraud related to “ill-gotten gains” trading Dean Foods stock.

He performed a legal trick so improbable that it was like Harry Houdini pulling a rabbit out of a hat while in chains underwater.”Mickelson wound up settling the case without admitting or denying the allegations.
