A gambler is facing a long prison sentence after making death threats to numerous athletes in professional and college sports including Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida charged 23-year-old Ben “Parlay” Patz with allegedly threatening to carry out acts of violence against athletes and their families. Patz made a little name for himself after winning over $1.1 million on parlays in less than two months. Apparently he could not handle losing because, Patz sent some very disgusting and graphically violent messages to players when things didn’t go his way.

Patz threatened to behead college and professional athletes and their families.

According to an affidavit provided by the Department of Justice, Patz used multiple anonymous accounts to send graphic threatening Instagram messages to MLB, NFL and college athletes connected to games he’s suspected of wagering on.

The complaint also says that after Patz bet $10,000 on the Rams to win the Super Bowl. After they lost Patz sent a direct message to a Patriots player with the initials J.E. which is certainly Julian Edelman.

“I’ll rape and murder your entire family,” Patz allegedly wrote. Edelman caught 10 passes for 141 yards en route to the game’s MVP.

Patz also sent a note to R.G. Rob Gronkowski

“I will brutally rape and murder your family. I will enter your home while you sleep and sever your neck open with a dull knife.”

Scary stuff, this has been going on for over a year now across multiple sports. Patz was officially charged with transmitting threats in interstate or foreign commerce. He will face a maximum sentence of five years in prison if convicted of the crime.
